Many‐Body Theory for the Dense Exciton Gas of Direct Semiconductors II. Calculation of Exciton Level Shift and Damping in Dependence on Exciton Density

Frank Boldt, K. Henneberger, Volkhard May

Abstract The spectral properties of a dense exciton gas are discussed using an exciton self‐energy in second collisional Born approximation with respect to exciton‐exciton interaction. The shift of the continuum edge and the ls exciton as well as the increase of the damping of the ls exciton are calculated linearly in the exciton density. The distribution of ls excitons is assumed to be either a macro‐occupation of the k = 0 state or a Boltzmann distribution with effective temperature varying between 10 and 60 K. A weakening of the level shift is obtained with increasing temperature. In the case of macro‐occupation damping is calculated self‐consistently resulting in a sublinear dependence on density.

Excited States and Collective Excitations in a Dense Gas of Excitons

Günter Manzke, Volkhard May, K. Henneberger

Abstract Following the concept of Hanamura the Bose formalism of Usui is used to investigate the collective properties of a dense gas of excitons. The correlation self‐energy for excitons is calculated with the help of a special concept of pure excitonic screening. The dielectric function and the collective modes are studied in detail. It is shown, that the consideration of excited exciton states leads to a lowering of the 1s exciton level with increasing exciton density. Furthermore the damping of the 1s exciton due to exciton–exciton collisions is investigated.

Many‐Body Theory for the Dense Exciton Gas of Direct Semiconductors. III. Response of the Many‐Exciton System on an Externally Driven Light Field

Volkhard May, Frank Boldt, K. Henneberger

Abstract The nonlinear response of a dense exciton gas in a platelet on an externally driven field is discussed using non equilibrium Green's function technique. A generalized Boltzmann‐equation of excitons containing many‐particle corrections in the diffusion‐, drift‐ and collision‐term is derived. Using a relaxed distribution (Boltzmann‐distribution) and an unrelaxed distribution (macro‐occupation) of ls‐excitons a bistability in exciton density as well as in the transmitted light intensity is obtained for a nearly resonant and stationary applied pump‐field of intensity 0.1 and 10kW/cm2, respectively. The bistability is obtained as a pure excitonic effect below the Mott‐transition.
