Excitons have recently been shown to deviate from pure bosons at densities a hundred times smaller than the Mott density. The corresponding calculations relied on the unscreened excitonic ground state wavefunction. A consistent inclusion of…
We report high field magneto-optical study on the first and second sub-band transitions of single-chirality single-walled carbon nanotubes. The ordering and relative energy splitting between bright and dark excitonic states were found to be…
The quantum confinement of Rydberg excitons is an important step towards exploiting their large nonlinearities for quantum applications. We observe Rydberg excitons in natural nanoparticles of Cu$_2$O. We resolve up to the principal quantum…
By combining electron energy-loss spectroscopy and state-of-the-art computational methods, we were able to provide an extensive picture of the excitonic processes in $1T$-HfS$_2$. The results differ significantly from the properties of the…
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…
Excitons - the particle-hole bound states - composed of localized electron-hole states in semiconducting systems are crucial to explaining the optical spectrum. Spectroscopic measurements can contain signatures of these two particle bound…
Based on \emph{ab initio} theoretical calculations of the optical spectra of vertical heterostructures of MoSe$_2$ (or MoS$_2$) and WSe$_2$ sheets, we reveal two spin-orbit-split Rydberg series of excitonic states below the \textsl{A}…
A model study of the singlet excitons in the C60 molecule with emphasis on the Coulomb interaction between excited electron and hole leads to a physical understanding of the interaction effects on the absorption spectra and to a new…
We employ dynamical density-matrix renormalization group (DDMRG) and field-theory methods to determine the frequency-dependent optical conductivity in one-dimensional extended, half-filled Hubbard models. The field-theory approach is…
Second order perturbation theory and a Lipkin-Nogami scheme combined with an exact Monte Carlo projection after variation are applied to compute the ground-state energy of $6\le N\le 210$ electron-hole pairs confined in a parabolic…
We investigate the trion binding energy in a three-dimensional semiconductor, with bare Coulomb interaction between charges, and effective mass approximation for the electron and hole dispersion relations. This is done by making use of a…
Interlayer excitons are bound states of electrons and holes confined in separate two-dimensional layers. Due to their repulsive dipolar interaction, interlayer excitons can form a correlated liquid. If another electron-hole bilayer is…
The recent observation of dipole-allowed $P$-excitons up to principal quantum numbers of $n=25$ in cuprous oxide has given insight into exciton states with unprecedented spectral resolution. While so far the exciton description as a…
Hosting giant Rydberg excitons with principal quantum numbers up to n = 30, cuprous oxide (Cu2O) provides a rare solid-state setting for exploring Rydberg physics, as exemplified by the blockade effect. Here we access the strongly…
Rydberg states of excitons can reach microns in size and require extremely pure crystals. We introduce an experimental method for the rapid and spatially-resolved characterization of Rydberg excitons in copper oxide (Cu2O) with sub-micron…
In a recent letter [J. -H. Choi et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 066403 (2015)], a universal linear relation between the binding energy Eb of exciton and the band gap Eg is found in different quasi-2D semiconductors. However, when one…
The bound electron-hole pairs known as excitons govern the optical properties of insulating solids. While their behavior in equilibrium is well-understood theoretically, the nonequilibrium regime at high excitation densities-where phenomena…
Strongly correlated bosons in a lattice are a platform to realize rich bosonic states of matter and quantum phase transitions. While strongly correlated bosons in a lattice have been studied in cold-atom experiments, their realization in a…
Exciton effects on soliton and bipolaron lattice states are investigated using an electron-lattice Peierls model with long-range Coulomb interactions. The Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation and the single-excitation configuration-interaction…
Excitonic properties in the Kagome lattice system, which is produced by quantum wires on semiconductor surfaces, are investigated by using the exact diagonalization of a tight binding model. It is shown that due to the existence of flat…
