The interplay of band edge and exciton levels is analyzed numerically, whereby the self-consistent solution is compared to the semiclassical Debye approximation. Our results provide criteria which allow to verify or rule out the different band edge models against future experimental data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-25T08:46:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rydberg excitons", "cuprous oxide", "conduction electron band edge", "exciton bound states", "band edge models" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
