Abstract
The impressive progress in laser cooling and trapping of atoms has recently resulted in the experimental realization of Bose—Einstein condensation (BEC) of cold rubidium, lithium, and sodium atoms [142]-[144]. Since excitons are approximately bosons, BEC of excitons or excitonic molecules has attracted a lot of interest [145]. In bulk crystals, degenerate Bose—Einstein (BE) statistics for excitons in Ge [146] and biexcitons in CuCl [147] have been reported. BE saturation in Cu2O has also been observed [148].
