Excitons with anisotropic effective mass

چکیده

We present a simple analytic scheme for calculating the binding energy of excitons in semiconductors that takes full account of the existing anisotropy in the effective mass, as a complement to the qualitative treatment in most textbooks. Results obtained for excitons in gallium nitride form the basis for a discussion of the accuracy of this approach. Zusammenfassung. Wir präsentieren ein einfaches analytisches Verfahren zur Berechnung der Bindungsenergie von Exzitonen in Halbleitern, das die vorhandene Anisotropie in der effektiven Masse vollständig miteinbezieht, in Ergänzung zu der qualitativen Betrachtung in den meisten Lehrbüchern. Ergebnisse für Exzitonen in Galliumnitrid bilden die Grundlage für eine Diskussion der Genauigkeit dieser Methode.

Highly anisotropic and robust excitons in monolayer black phosphorus.

Semi-metallic graphene and semiconducting monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides are the most intensively studied two-dimensional materials of recent years. Lately, black phosphorus has emerged as a promising new two-dimensional material due to its widely tunable and direct bandgap, high carrier mobility and remarkable in-plane anisotropic electrical, optical and phonon properties. However,...

Effective-mass model and magneto-optical properties in hybrid perovskites

Hybrid inorganic-organic perovskites have proven to be a revolutionary material for low-cost photovoltaic applications. They also exhibit many other interesting properties, including giant Rashba splitting, large-radius Wannier excitons, and novel magneto-optical effects. Understanding these properties as well as the detailed mechanism of photovoltaics requires a reliable and accessible electro...

Investigation of Natural Convection in a Vertical Cavity Filled with a Anisotropic Porous Media

In present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. It is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. The buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. In the two extreme cases o...

Berry Phase Modification to the Energy Spectrum of Excitons.

By quantizing the semiclassical motion of excitons, we show that the Berry curvature can cause an energy splitting between exciton states with opposite angular momentum. This splitting is determined by the Berry curvature flux through the k-space area spanned by the relative motion of the electron-hole pair in the exciton wave function. Using the gapped two-dimensional Dirac equation as a model...

Simple Screened Hydrogen Model of Excitons in Two-Dimensional Materials.

We present a generalized hydrogen model for the binding energies (E_{B}) and radii of excitons in two-dimensional (2D) materials that sheds light on the fundamental differences between excitons in two and three dimensions. In contrast to the well-known hydrogen model of three-dimensional (3D) excitons, the description of 2D excitons is complicated by the fact that the screening cannot be assume...
