Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (STMDC) are two-dimensional (2D) crystals characterized by electron volt size band gaps, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and d-orbital character of its valence and conduction bands. We show that these materials carry unique exciton quasiparticles (electron-hole bound states) with energy within the gap but which can "collapse" in the strong coupling regime by merging into the band structure continuum. The exciton collapse seems to be a generic effect in these 2D crystals.
