The dependence of the energy of the relative electron-hole motion in an exciton on the magnitude of applied electric field for various thicknesses of an ideal flat semiconductor plate is theoretically calculated. It is shown that the variation of the plate thickness significantly affects the dependence of the energy on the electric field. The effect should be observed in plates whose thickness exceeds the Bohr exciton radius by two orders of magnitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
