The realization of exciton polaritons—hybrid excitations of semiconductor quantum well
excitons and cavity photons—has been of great technological and scientific significance. In …

Rydberg atoms have attracted considerable interest due to their huge interaction among
each other and with external fields. They demonstrate characteristic scaling laws in …

We report exciton-mediated coupling between microwave and optical fields in cuprous oxide

We present a method to calculate the excitonic spectra of all direct semiconductors with a
complex valence band structure. The Schrödinger equation is solved using a complete basis …

We study the Rydberg exciton absorption of Cu 2 O in the presence of free carriers injected
by above-band-gap illumination. Already at plasma densities ρ EH below one hundredth …

Energies of the ground and excited states of excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/GaAs
finite square quantum wells (QWs) of various widths are calculated. This is achieved by …

Bound states of electron–hole pairs in semiconductors demonstrate a hydrogen-like
behavior in their high-lying excited states that are also known as Rydberg exciton states …
