Excitons, i.e. the bound states of an electron and a positively charged hole are the solid state analogue of the hydrogen atom. As such they exhibit a Rydberg series, which in cuprous oxide has been observed up to high principal quantum…

The band structure of $\beta$-LiGaO$_2$ is calculated using the quasiparticle self-consistent QS$G\hat W$ method where the screened Coulomb interaction $\hat W$ is evaluated including electron-hole interaction ladder diagrams and $G$ is the…

We present a parameter-free model which estimates the density of excitons in Cu$_2$O, related to experiments that have tried to create an excitonic Bose-Einstein condensate. Our study demonstrates that the triplet-state excitons move along…

We have experimentally determined the energies of the ground and first four excited excitonic states of the fundamental optical transition in monolayer WS2, a model system for the growing class of atomically thin two-dimensional…

Excitons, as bound states of electrons and holes, embody the solid state analogue of the hydrogen atom, whose quantum spectrum is explained within a classical framework by the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model. In a first hydrogenlike…

We use a local model to study the formation and the structure of the low energy charge transfer excitations in the insulating Cu-O$_2$ plane. The elementary excitation is a bound exciton of spin singlet, consisting of a Cu$^+$ and a…

A theory of charged excitons X- in a dilute 2D electron gas in a high magnetic field is presented. In contrast to previous calculations, three bound X- states (one singlet and two triplets) are found in a narrow and symmetric GaAs quantum…

We present a generalized hydrogen model for the binding energies ($E_B$) of excitons in two-dimensional (2D) materials that sheds light on the fundamental differences between excitons in two and three dimensions. In contrast to the…

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…

Highly excited atoms with an electron moved into a level with large principal quantum number are fascinating hydrogen-like objects. The giant extension of these Rydberg atoms leads to huge interaction effects. Monitoring these interactions…

We investigate the possibility of excitonic superfluidity in electron-hole bilayers. We calculate the phase diagram of the system for the whole range of electron-hole density imbalance and for different degrees of electrostatic screening,…

We have used magneto-photoluminescence measurements to establish that InP/GaAs quantum dots have a type-II (staggered) band alignment. The average excitonic Bohr radius and the binding energy are estimated to be 15nm and 1.5 meV…

We use two-color pump-probe spectroscopy to study Rydberg excitons in Cu$_2$O in the presence of free carriers injected by above-band-gap excitation. Already at plasma densities $\rho_\text{eh}$ below one hundredth electron-hole pair per…

High-lying Rydberg states of Mott-Wannier excitons are receiving considerable interest due to the possibility of adding long-range interactions to the physics of exciton-polaritons. Here, we study Rydberg excitation in bulk synthetic…

The energy band structure of excitons is studied in periodic potentials produced by the short-range interaction between the exciton and electrons of Wigner or Moir\'{e} lattices. Treating the exciton as a point-like dipole that interacts…

Experimental and theoretical investigations of excitons in cuprous oxide have revealed a significant fine-structure splitting of the excitonic Rydberg states caused by a strong impact of the valence band structure. We provide a…

Rydberg excitons are the solid-state analog of Rydberg atoms and can, e.g., for cuprous oxide, easily reach a large size in the region of $\mu$m for principal quantum numbers up to $n=25$. The fabrication of quantum well-like structures in…

Due to quantum confinement, excitons in finite-sized crystals behave rather differently than in bulk materials. We investigate the dependence of energies of Rydberg excitons on the strengths of parabolic as well as rectangular confinement…

We develop a many-body approach to the behavior of exciton bound states and the conduction electron band edge in a surrounding electron-hole plasma with a focus on the absorption spectrum of Rydberg excitons in cuprous oxide. The interplay…

We report on small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations which prove the formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) as prerequisite for spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in bilayer systems described by the extended…
