Excitons in two-dimensional semiconductors are directly exposed to the environment and are sensitive to the dielectric properties of their surrounding. Here, we show that the Rydberg series of excited states of excitons in a monolayer ${\mathrm{WSe}}_{2}$ encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN… [Phys. Rev.
