Abstract
Electron core-hole processes at absorption edges sport several signatures, primarily in the form of bound states and/or excitonic enhancement. Through analysis of the resonant-Raman Auger effect for the 2-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide MoS2, we demonstrate that these effects can have significant manifestations at the S 1s x-ray edge. We characterize two asymmetric excitonically enhanced edges: one at the fundamental band edge and one several electron volts above it following a second band gap that lies entirely within the unoccupied states, with the latter revealing an anomalous post-collision interaction effect. Our interpretation is supported by comparison of the absorption spectra with electronic structure calculations obtained using an ab initio solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which accurately accounts for the electron-core-hole interaction.Citation
