Structure of the Biexciton Molecule and Optical Transition Selection Rules in Zincblende and Wurtzite Materials

  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors

Abstract

The states of the biexciton molecules are related to the band structure of the crystal and effects due to electron-hole exchange are taken into account. For biexcitons in CdS and CuCl optical selection rules are derived and the electron hole exchange corrections to the energy is computed.
