Optical Properties of Bound and Localized Excitons and of Defect States

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Graduate Texts in Physics ((GTP))

Abstract

In the previous chapter we discussed mainly the optical properties of intrinsic excitons. Here we consider the optical properties of defect and localized states in bulk materials, but mention that many of these aspects are also relevant for the structures of reduced dimensionality presented in the next chapter.
