Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with high anisotropic properties, such as black phosphorus and ReS2, show amazing potential for applications in future nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. However, degradation of black phosphorus under ambient conditions and the expensiveness of Re block their application. In this study, another layered material, KP15, that has highly anisotropic properties was successfully prepared. The detailed crystal structure and electron-density distribution calculation reveal that KP15 exhibits an anisotropic layered structure with two rows of P tubes connected by K atoms that are antiparallel in a single layer. Outstanding chemical stability, angular dependence of the Raman response, excitation, and exciton emission at room temperature have been found in exfoliated KP15 nanoribbons. Importantly, the exciton emission at room temperature suggests the existence of a large exciton binding energy. Our results indicate that, because this layered material, KP15, has high anisotropic properties and ultrachemical stability and is derived from abundant raw materials, it has great potential for applications in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have spurred excitement for potential applications in optoelectronic and valleytronic devices; however, the origin of the dynamics of excitons, trions, and other localized states in these low dimensional materials is not well-understood. Here, we experimentally probed the dynamics of excitonic states in monolayer WSe2 by investigating the temperature and polarization dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Four pronounced PL peaks were identified below a temperature of 60 K at near-resonant excitation and assigned to exciton, trion and localized states from excitation power dependence measurements. We find that the localized states vanish above 65 K, while exciton and trion emission peaks remain up to room temperature. This can be explained by a multi-level model developed for conventional semiconductors and applied to monolayer TMDCs for the first time here. From this model, we estimated a lower bound of the exciton binding energy of 198 meV for monolayer WSe2 and explained the vanishing of the localized states. Additionally, we observed a rapid decrease in the degree of circular polarization of the PL at increasing temperatures indicating a relatively strong electron-phonon coupling and impurity-related scattering. Our results reveal further insight into the excitonic states in monolayer WSe2 which is critical for future practical applications.

Abstract
We have investigated exciton localization in binary GaN nanorods using micro- and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence has been measured, and several phonon replicas have been observed at the lower energy side of the exciton bound to basal stacking faults (I1). By analyzing the Huang-Rhys parameters as a function of temperature, deduced from the phonon replica intensities, we have found that the excitons are strongly localized in the lower energy tails. The lifetimes of the I1 and I2 transitions were measured to be < 100 ps due to enhanced surface recombination.PACS: 78.47.+p, 78.55.-m, 78.55.Cr, 78.66.-w, 78.66.Fd.
