Excitons with a radius of a few lattice constants can be affected by strong central-cell corrections, leading to significant deviations of the optical spectrum from the hydrogen-like Rydberg series, and also to an enhancement of the exciton mass. We present an approach to this situation based on a lattice model that incorporates the effects of a non-parabolic band structure, short distance corrections to the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes, spin–orbit and exchange coupling.

Interaction of charged impurities and Rydberg excitons in cuprous oxide

We investigate the influence of a static, uncorrelated distribution of charged impurities on the spectrum of bound excitons in the copper oxide ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$. We show that the…

Magneto-Stark effect of yellow excitons in cuprous oxide

We investigate and compare experimental and numerical excitonic spectra of the yellow series in cuprous oxide Cu$_2$O in the Voigt configuration and thus partially extend the results from Schweiner…

Experimental limitation in extending the exciton series in Cu2O towards higher principal quantum numbers

So far, the observation of the yellow $P$ exciton series in cuprous oxide has been limited to principal quantum numbers up to ${n}_{\text{max}}=25$ at a crystal temperature of…

Orthogonal layers of parallelism in large-scale eigenvalue computations

The benefits of using orthogonal layers of parallelism with two exemplary application cases—an exciton and a strongly correlated electron system—which incur either small or large communication overhead are demonstrated.

The basic building block library supports an elaborate MPI+X approach that is able to fully exploit hardware heterogeneity while exposing functional parallelism and data parallelism to all other software layers in a flexible way.

Interseries transitions between Rydberg excitons in Cu2O

We investigate the infrared optical transitions between excitons of the yellow, green and blue series in the cuprous oxide Cu$_{\mathrm{2}}$O. We show that in many cases the dipole approximation is…

Giant Rydberg excitons in the copper oxide Cu2O

The existence of Rydberg excitons in the copper oxide Cu2O, with principal quantum numbers as large as n = 25, is demonstrated, which may allow the formation of ordered exciton phases or the sensing of elementary excitations in their surroundings on a quantum level.

Effective Hamiltonians and bindings energies of Wannier excitons in polar semiconductors

The interaction of Wannier excitons with an LO-phonon field is investigated in detail. We derive effective local Hamiltonians which may be used to calculate the whole exciton spectrum in a…

Deviations of the exciton level spectrum in cuprous oxide from the hydrogen series

Recent high-resolution absorption spectroscopy on excited excitons in cuprous oxide [Nature (London) 514, 343 (2014)] has revealed significant deviations of their spectrum from that of the ideal…

Ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field.

From two-phonon excitation spectroscopy measurements, a very reliable value is derived for the paraexciton mass by a merely kinematical analysis in connection with a Bose-Einstein condensation of paraexcitons in Cu2O.

Unified theory of symmetry-breaking effects on excitons in cubic and wurtzite structures

A general group-theoretical scheme is developed to discuss any symmetry-breaking effects on the 12-fold $1s$-exciton states originating from an $s$-like and $p$-like electron-hole pair. All the…

The band structure of Cu(2)O is calculated using density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation and is considered to be the best candidate for the confirmation that Bose-Einstein condensation also occurs in excitonic systems.

Anisotropic effective exciton mass in Cu2O

The degeneracy of the yellow 1S orthoexcitons in Cu2O is lifted by wave vector dependent electron-hole exchange. This interaction scales quadratically with k and strongly depends on the direction of…

In $\mathrm{Cu_{2}O}$ parity is a good quantum number and thus the exciton spectrum falls into two parts: The dipole-active exciton states of negative parity and odd angular momentum, which can be…
