Electron-hole bound pairs, or excitons, are common excitations in semiconductors. They can spontaneously form and ``condense'' into a new insulating ground state -- the so-called excitonic insulator -- when the energy of electron-hole…
The effects of the electron-phonon interaction on optical excitations can be understood in terms of exciton-phonon coupling, and require a careful treatment in low-dimensional materials with strongly bound excitons or strong electron-hole…
The interaction of excitons with lattice vibrations underlies the scattering from bright to dark excitons as well as the coherent modulation of the exciton energy. Unlike the former mechanism, which involves phonons with finite momentum,…
