Abstract
The magneto-optical response of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, including excitonic effects, is studied using a nanoribbon geometry. We compute the diagonal optical conductivity and the Hall conductivity. Comparing the excitonic optical Hall conductivity to results obtained in the independent-particle approximation, we find an increase in the amplitude corresponding to one order of magnitude when excitonic effects are included. The Hall conductivities are used to calculate Faraday rotation spectra for and . Finally, we have also calculated the diamagnetic shift of the exciton states of in different dielectric environments. Comparing the calculated diamagnetic shift to recent experimental measurements, we find a very good agreement between the two.
