Popis: Using optical absorption and scanning tunneling spectroscopy techniques, the authors investigate band-gap properties of single layers of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) alloyed crystals (Mo${}_{x}$W${}_{1-x}$S${}_{2}$). They observe a significant modulation of the excitonic transitions, quasiparticle band gaps, and exciton binding energies. These findings may hold promise for fundamental studies of intralayer phenomena and for potential applications of TMDC alloys in electronic and optoelectronic devices.
