Excitons, Photons, and Their Coupling: Interplay between Elementary and Composite Bosons

This book embarks on an exploration of the interplay between excitons, which are the fundamental excitations in semiconductors, and photons, which are the electromagnetic quanta, providing fresh insights into light-matter interaction.

Covering the basic principles of semiconductor electronic structures in a detailed yet accessible way, this book provides a pedagogical introduction to the various Coulomb interactions between electrons and holes, which are the two semiconductor key particles,...
