Characteristics of Electron-Hole Systems
2-component quantum many-body systemOpposite charges, different effective masses, mass anisotropy. Fermion→ Pauli blocking
Coexistence of repulsive and attractive Coulomb interactionsThe same order of magnitude, Free-electron theory/Fermi liquid theory invalid
“Exciton” and “excitonic molecule” can be formedExciton and excitonic molecule can be formed.An exciton or a biexciton is (quasi)bosonic.
Tunable particle density by irradiation intensityN t l # f l t # f h l d l ti d d tNot always # of electrons = # of holes→modulation doped system
Variable strength and range of Coulomb interactionStatic and dynamical screenings, dielectric confinement in low dimensions
Excited states with energy higher than thermal energy at RTmeV (Teraheltz, IR), eV (visible), keV (UV, X-ray): Wide range of light energy
Open system with phonon bath: Intraband energy relaxationOpen system with phonon bath: Intraband energy relaxation1st step of energy decay, open boundary problem
