Resonant Raman Scattering from Stress-Split Forbidden Excitons in Cu2O

  • Conference paper

  • 280 Accesses

Abstract

Excitons in Cu2O have been studied extensively since their discovery nearly 30 years ago.1 Excitons of the fundamental(yellow) series are both very sharp and difficult to observe as a result of the direct forbidden bandgap. Yellow P states are weakly dipole allowed, and 8 or more members of the P series can be observed in good crystals in absorption or luminescence. Yellow S states, however, are strictly dipole-forbidden.
