Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are materials with unique potential for photonic and optoelectronic applications. They offer well-defined tunable direct band gaps in a broad electromagnetic spectral range. The small optical path across them naturally limits the light–matter interactions of these two-dimensional (2-D) materials, due to their atomic thinness. Nanoscale plasmonic antennae offer a substantial increase of field strength over very short distances, comparable to the native thickness of the TMD. For instance, it has been demonstrated that plasmonic dimer antennae generate hot-spot field enhancements by orders of magnitude when an emitter is positioned exactly over the middle of their gap. However, 2-D materials cannot be grown or easily transferred, to reside midgap of the metallic dimer cavity. Hence, it is not plausible to simply take the peak intensity as the emission enhancement factor. Here we show that the emission enhancement generated in a 2-D TMD film by a monomer anten...
