  2. Direct and indirect band gaps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_and_indirect_band_gaps

    The exact reverse of radiative recombination is light absorption. For the same reason as above, light with a photon energy close to the band gap can penetrate much farther before being absorbed in an indirect band gap material than a direct band gap one (at least insofar as the light absorption is due to exciting electrons across the band gap).

  3. Semiconductor luminescence equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_luminescence...

    where the first contribution, ~, contains the Coulomb-renormalized single-particle energy that is determined by the bandstructure of the solid.The Coulomb renormalization are identical to those that appear in the semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs), showing that all photon-assisted polarizations are coupled with each other via the unscreened Coulomb-interaction .

  4. Elliott formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_formula

    Photoluminescence intensity computed via the Elliott formula. The population of s-like exciton states follow a Boltzmann distribution at 35 Kelvin, where the 1 s population is suppressed to four percent and the dephasing constant is ℏ γ ≈ 1 / , m e V {\displaystyle \hbar \gamma \approx 1/,\mathrm {meV} } .

  5. Photoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoluminescence

    Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons (electromagnetic radiation). [1] It is one of many forms of luminescence (light emission) and is initiated by photoexcitation (i.e. photons that excite electrons to a higher energy level in an atom), hence the prefix photo- .

  6. Near-field scanning optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-field_scanning...

    The nanofocusing technique can create a nanometer-scale "white" light source at the tip apex, which can be used to illuminate a sample at near-field for spectroscopic analysis. The interband optical transitions in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes are imaged and a spatial resolution around 6 nm has been reported. [28]

  7. Free carrier absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_carrier_absorption

    This intraband absorption is different from interband absorption because the excited carrier is already in an excited band, such as an electron in the conduction band or a hole in the valence band, where it is free to move. In interband absorption, the carrier starts in a fixed, nonconducting band and is excited to a conducting one.

  8. Photoluminescence excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoluminescence_excitation

    Photoluminescence excitation (abbreviated PLE) is a specific type of photoluminescence and concerns the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter.It is used in spectroscopic measurements where the frequency of the excitation light is varied, and the luminescence is monitored at the typical emission frequency of the material being studied.

  9. Band bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_bending

    It is a form of photoluminescence spectroscopy where the emitted photon decay is measured over time. In photoluminescence spectroscopy a material is excited using a photon pulse with a higher photon energy than the band gap in the material. The material relaxes back into its ground state under emission of a photon.
