On the no‐phonon structure in mixed crystals with indirect band structure

Abstract: The no-phonon structure occurring in the optical interband absorption spectra of mixed crystals with indirect band structure is investigated. Starting from a simple model for describing Wannier excitons in mixed crystals this structure is shown to be due to disorder-induced indirect exciton formation. The calculations yield lineshape and composition dependence which are in good agreement with experiment. Es wird die in den optischen

“…Following [8] the free exciton problem for a given configuration of the mixed crystal can be described by the Hamiltonian where the first and second terms describe the virtual-crystal exciton spectrum and the influence of the disorder on this exciton spectrum, respectively. All abbreviations and the units in which A = 1 are the same as in [S]: Using the Dyson equation for the configuration-averaged Green's function a t zero temperature (ZnS) from [13].…”

“…This potential field takes into account the scattering of the exciton by the assumed short-range potential fluctuations about the virtual-crystal potential. This has been carried out for the exciton problem in [8] leading to a successful theoretical description of the no-phonon transition in indirect semiconductor mixed crystals which was interpreted as a disorder-induced indirect exciton formation. Applying this approach, however, to the direct exciton problem no closed lines are obtained for the ground state exciton.2) One possibility to overcome these difficulties is to introduce a phenomenological damping which should simulate all kinds of exciton interaction which are omitted in our treatment.…”
