Instability toward biexciton crystallization in one-dimensional electron-hole systems

چکیده
One-dimensional (1D) electron-hole (e-h) systems in a high-density regime is investigated by means of bozonization techniques. It turned out that the systems are insulating even at the high density limit and that the exciton Mott transition (insulator-to-metal transition) never occurs at absolute zero temperature. The insulating ground state exhibits a strong instability towards the crystallization of biexcitons.

Phasediagramfor the excitonMott transition in infinite-dimensional electron-hole systems
To understand the essence of the exciton Mott transition in three-dimensional electron-hole systems, the metalinsulator transition is studied for a two-band Hubbard model in infinite dimensions with interactions of electronelectron (hole-hole) repulsion U and electron-hole attraction −U . By using the dynamical mean-field theory, the phase diagram in the U -U ′ plane is obtained (which is exact...
متن کاملExciton-exciton interaction and biexciton formation in bilayer systems
We report quantum Monte Carlo calculations of biexciton binding energies in ideal two-dimensional bilayer systems with isotropic electron and hole masses. We have also calculated exciton-exciton interaction potentials and pair-distribution functions for electrons and holes in bound biexcitons. Comparing our data with results obtained in a recent study using a model exciton-exciton potential Sch...

We have studied scattering states and thermodynamic properties of electron-hole systems. Starting from the constituent electrons and holes and Coulomb interactions, we have used quantum Monte Carlo simulation techniques to sample properties of wavefunctions and thermal density matrices. We have studied three types of systems: (1) the scattering of two excitons, with full-quantum treatment of th...
متن کاملQuantum chemical investigation of biexcitons in conjugated polymers
The formation of biexcitons in conjugated polymers is examined within the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model of polyacetylene. The calculations are done using a scattering formalism that provides a size-consistent description of excited states containing both single and double electron-hole pair excitations. The excited-state absorption spectrum from the 1Bu exciton state was calculated and examine...

Carriers confined in a quantum dot (QD) are strongly interacting, which makes the energy states very sensitive to the exact number of trapped carriers. In fact, one single extra carrier is enough to significantly change the electrical and optical behavior of the QD. Therefore, in the moderate-excitation-power regime, the QDs is on average populated with more than one exciton and several emissio...
