We calculate the photoluminescence spectrum and lifetime of a biexciton in a semiconductor using Fermis golden rule. Our biexciton wavefunction is obtained using a Quantum Monte Carlo calculation. We consider a recombination process where one of the excitons within the biexciton annihilates. For hole masses greater than or equal to the electron mass, we find that the surviving exciton is most likely to populate the ground state. We also investigate how the confinement of excitons in a quantum dot would modify the lifetime in the limit of a large quantum dot where confinement principally affects the centre of mass wavefunction. The lifetimes we obtain are in reasonable agreement with experimental values. Our calculation can be used as a benchmark for comparison with approximate methods.

Simultaneous occurrence of the Mott and band gap in correlated semiconductors results in a complex optical response with the nature of the absorption edge difficult to resolve both experimentally and theoretically. Here, we combine a dynamical mean-f
ield theory approach to localized 4f shells with an improved description of band gaps by a semi-local exchange-correlation potential to calculate the optical properties of the light rare-earth fluorosulfides LnSF (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) from first principles. In agreement with experiment, we find the absorption edge in SmSF to stem from S-3p to Sm-4f transitions, while the Gd compound behaves as an ordinary p-d gap semiconductor. In the unexplored PrSF and NdSF systems we predict a rather unique occurrence of strongly hybridized 4f-5d states at the bottom of the conduction band. The nature of the absorption edge underlies a peculiar anisotropy of the optical conductivity in each system.
The original Shockley-Read-Hall recombination statistics is extended to include recombination of localized excitations. The recombination is treated as a bimolecular process rather than a monomolecular recombination of excitons. The emphasis is place
d on an interplay between two distinct channels of radiative recombination (shallow localized states vs extended states) mediated by trapping of photogenerated charge carriers by non-radiative centers. Results of a numerical solution for a given set of parameters are complemented by an approximate analytical expression for the thermal quenching of the photoluminescence intensity in non-degenerate semiconductors derived in the limit of low pump intensities. The merit of a popular double-exponential empirical function for fitting the thermal quenching of the photoluminescence intensity is critically examined.
Excitonic effects play a particularly important role in the optoelectronic behavior of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. To facilitate the interpretation of experimental photoabsorption and photoluminescence spectra we provide statistically exact
diffusion quantum Monte Carlo binding-energy data for Mott-Wannier models of excitons, trions, and biexcitons in 2D semiconductors. We also provide contact pair densities to allow a description of contact (exchange) interactions between charge carriers using first-order perturbation theory. Our data indicate that the binding energy of a trion is generally larger than that of a biexciton in 2D semiconductors. We provide interpolation formulas giving the binding energy and contact density of 2D semiconductors as functions of the electron and hole effective masses and the in-plane polarizability.
When electrons in a solid are excited to a higher energy band they leave behind a vacancy (hole) in the original band which behaves like a positively charged particle. Here we predict that holes can spontaneously order into a regular lattice in semic
onductors with sufficiently flat valence bands. The critical hole to electron effective mass ratio required for this phase transition is found to be of the order of 80.
We study the pump-probe response of three insulating cuprates and develop a model for its recombination kinetics. The dependence on time, fluence, and both pump and probe photon energies imply many-body recombination on femtosecond timescales, charac
terized by anomalously large trapping and Auger coefficients. The fluence dependence follows a universal form that includes a characteristic volume scale, which we associate with the holon-doublon excitation efficiency. This volume varies strongly with pump photon energy and peaks near twice the charge-transfer energy, suggesting that the variation is caused by carrier multiplication through impact ionization.
