Exciton dynamics, lifetimes and scattering are directly related to the exciton dispersion, or bandstructure. While electron and phonon bandstructures are well understood and can be easily calculated from first principles, the exciton…
The scattering theory of low-energy (slow) electrons has been developed by Evans and Mills [Phys. Rev. B 5, 4126 (1972)]. The formalism is merely based on the electrostatic Coulomb interaction of the scattering electrons with the…
Excitons in atomically-thin semiconductors necessarily lie close to a surface, and therefore their properties are expected to be strongly influenced by the surrounding dielectric environment. However, systematic studies exploring this role…
A number of recent lines of evidence point towards the presence of hot, out-flowing plasma from the central regions of compact Galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources. Additionally, it has long been noted that many of these sources exhibit…
Bilayer electron-hole systems undergo excitonic condensation when the distance d between the layers is smaller than the typical distance between particles within a layer. All excitons in this condensate have a fixed dipole moment which…
By an integral equation approach to the time-harmonic classical Maxwell equations, we describe the dispersion in the nonretarded frequency regime of the edge plasmon-polariton (EPP) on a semi-infinite flat sheet. The sheet has an arbitrary,…
We report on the spatial coherence of interlayer exciton ensembles as formed in MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ heterostructures and characterized by point-inversion Michelson-Morley interferometry. Below 10 K, the measured spatial coherence length of the…
We study the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a metal surface which hosts a thin film of a liquid dielectric. The ohmic losses, that are inherently present due to the coupling of SPPs to conductors' electron plasma,…
We examine the thermal fluctuations of the local electric field $E_k^{\rm loc}$ and the dipole moment $\mu_k$ in liquid water at $T=298$ K between metal walls in electric field applied in the perpendicular direction. We use analytic theory…
Linear Maxwell equations for transverse magnetic (TM) polarized fields support single frequency surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) localized at the interface of a metal and a dielectric. Metals are typically dispersive, i.e. the dielectric…
Excitons -- elementary excitations formed by bound electron-hole pairs -- govern the optical properties and excited-state dynamics of materials. In two-dimensions (2D), excitons are theoretically predicted to have a linear energy-momentum…
We study the dispersion properties of surface plasmon oscillations in a semi-bounded semiconductor plasma with the effects of the Coulomb exchange force associated with the spin polarization of electrons and holes as well as the effects of…
An exciton, a two-body composite quasiparticle formed of an electron and hole, is a fundamental optical excitation in condensed-matter systems. Since its discovery nearly a century ago, a measurement of the excitonic wavefunction has…
The spatial-dependent propagation model has been successfully used to explain diverse observational phenomena, including the spectral hardening of cosmic-ray nuclei above $200$ GV, the large-scale dipole anisotropy and the diffusive gamma…
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 symmetric simple exclusion process (SEP), where diffusive particles cannot overtake each other, is a paradigmatic model of transport in the single-file geometry. In this model, the study of currents has attracted a lot of attention, but…
Achieving electrical injection of exciton-polaritons, half-light, half-matter quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling between photonic and excitonic resonances, is a crucial milestone to scale up polaritonic devices such as optical…
Starting with Maxwell's equations, we derive the fundamental results of the Huygens-Fresnel-Kirchhoff and Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theories of scalar diffraction and scattering. These results are then extended to cover the case of vector…
The near- and far-field photoluminescence spectra of a gated two-dimensional electron gas have been measured. Spatial fluctuations in the electron density are found to be manifested as spatial fluctuations in the emission amplitude of the…
We predict Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of dipolar excitons, formed by electron-hole pairs in spatially separated gapped hexagonal $\alpha-T_{3}$ (GHAT3) layers. In the $\alpha-T_{3}$ model, the AB-honeycomb lattice…
