Exciton-exciton annihilation in MoSe2 monolayers
We investigate the excitonic dynamics in MoSe2 monolayer and bulk samples by
femtosecond transient absorption microscopy. Excitons are resonantly injected
by a 750-nm and 100-fs laser pulse, and are detected by a probe pulse tuned in
the range of 790 - 820 nm. We observe a strong density-dependent initial decay
of the exciton population in monolayers, which can be well described by the
exciton-exciton annihilation. Such a feature is not observed in the bulk under
comparable conditions. We also observe the saturated absorption induced by
exciton phase-space filling in both monolayers and the bulk, which indicates
their potential applications as saturable absorbers.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Common Stochastic Volatility in International Real Estate Market
This study examined the real estate markets of Europe, North America, and Asia using daily continental real estate indices. It applied a multivariate stochastic volatility model to analyze the behavior of volatility trends in these markets. The results showed comovements in volatilities, especially between Europe and North America, as indicated by high degrees of correlation of their respective stochastic trend components. However, the impact of this common trend varies in these markets, especially for the early period of the sample. For the later period of the sample, the derived volatility trend indicated volatility convergence among them. It might imply that the role of emerging market such as Asia in diversifying real estate investment risk was not as significant as showed in early studies and is diminishing overtime
