Abstract
Many optical and spectral properties of solid dielectrics are connected with the formation of excitons — currentless collective electronic states characterized by a wave vector \( \overrightarrow {\rm{k}} \) and some set of other discrete quantum numbers. In particular, the propagation of light through a crystal is caused by the transformation of photons into excitons followed by the excitation energy transfer to other photons (light scattering) and crystal lattice vibration phonons (light absorption).
