Dimensional arguments lead to say that $N$ excitons in a sample of volume $V$ behave as bosons for $\lambda N a_x^3/V \ll 1$, $a_x$ being the exciton radius and $\lambda$ a dimensionless factor. The Mott criterion, which is based on the…

Excitons are bosonic quasiparticles with a variety of applications in optoelectronics, photosyn thesis, and dissipationless informatics, and their lifetime can become sufficiently long to form a quantum condensate. While exciton…
