Excitons and Two-dimensional Screening: Critical Screening Lengths

Materials Science 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A beautiful and intriguing relationship has recently been proposed to express the critical screening lengths associated with the apparition of new bound states for the two-dimensional statically screened Coulomb potential. Semiclassical quantum theory show that this relationship is unfortunately not strictly exact. These results are confirmed by a variational calculation, which provides upper bounds for the critical screening lengths in the case l1l \geq 1.
