Giant oscillator strength : ウィキペディア英語版
Giant oscillator strength
Giant oscillator strength is inherent in excitons that are weakly bound to impurities or defects in crystals.
The spectrum of fundamental absorption of direct-gap semiconductors such as Gallium arsenide (GaAs) and Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is continuous and corresponds to band-to-band transitions. It begins with transitions at the center of the Brillouin zone, \boldsymbol=0. In a perfect crystal, this spectrum is preceded by a hydrogen-like series of the transitions to ''s''-states of Wannier-Mott excitons.〔R. J. Elliott, Intensity of optical absorption by excitons, Phys. Rev. 108, 1384 (1957).〕 In addition to the exciton lines, there are surprisingly strong additional absorption lines in the same spectral region.〔V. L. Broude, V. V. Eremenko and É. I. Rashba, The Absorption of Light by CdS Crystals, Soviet Physics Doklady 2, 239 (1957).〕 They belong to excitons weakly bound to impurities and defects and are termed 'impurity excitons'. Anomalously high intensity of the impurity-exciton lines indicate their giant oscillator strength of about f_i\sim10 per impurity center while the oscillator strength of free excitons is only of about f_\sim10^ per unit cell. Shallow impurity-exciton states are working as antennas borrowing their giant oscillator strength from wast areas of the crystal around them. They were predicted by Emmanuel Rashba first for molecular excitons〔E. I. Rashba, Theory of the impurity absorption of light in molecular crystals, Opt. Spektrosk. 2, 568-577 (1957)〕 and afterwards for excitons in semiconductors.〔E. I. Rashba and G. E. Gurgenishvili, To the theory of the edge absorption in semiconductors, Sov. Phys. - Solid State 4, 759 - 760 (1962)〕 Giant oscillator strengths of impurity excitons endow them with ultra-short radiational life-times \tau_i\sim1 ns.
==Bound excitons in semiconductors: Theory==

Interband optical transitions happen at the scale of the lattice constant which is small compared to the exciton radius. Therefore for large excitons in direct-gap crystals the oscillator strength f_ of exciton absorption is proportional to |\Phi_(0)|^2 which is the value of the square of the wave function of the internal motion inside the exciton \Phi_(\boldsymbol_e-\boldsymbol_h) at coinciding values of the electron \boldsymbol_e and hole \boldsymbol_h coordinates. For large excitons |\Phi_(0)|^2\approx 1/a^3_ where a_ is the exciton radius, hence, f_\approx v/a^3_\ll1, here v is the unit cell volume. The oscillator strength f_i for producing a bound exciton can be expressed through its wave function \Psi_i(\boldsymbol_e,\boldsymbol_h) and f_ as
f_i=\frac\frac_e,\boldsymbol_e))^2}f_ .
Coinciding coordinates in the numerator, \boldsymbol_e=\boldsymbol_h, reflect the fact the exciton is created at a spatial scale small compared with its radius. The integral in the numerator can only be performed for specific models of impurity excitons. However, if the exciton is weakly bound to impurity, hence, the radius of the bound exciton a_i satisfies the condition a_ia_ and its wave function of the internal motion \Phi_(\boldsymbol_e-\boldsymbol_h) is only slightly distorted, then the integral in the numerator can be evaluated as (a_i/a_)^. This immediately results in an estimate for f_i
f_i\approx\fracf_ .
This simple result reflects physics of the phenomenon of giant oscillator strength: coherent oscillation of electron polarization in the volume of about a_i^3 >> v.
If the exciton is bound to a defect by a weak short-range potential, a more accurate estimate holds
f_i=8\left(\frac\frac\right)^\fracf_.
Here m=m_e+m_h is the exciton effective mass, \mu=(m_e^+m_h^)^ is its reduced mass, E_ is the exciton ionization energy, E_i is the binding energy of the exciton to impurity, and m_e and m_h are the electron and hole effective masses.
Giant oscillator strength for shallow trapped excitons results in their short radiative lifetimes
\tau_i\approx\frac .
Here m_0 is the electron mass in vacuum, c is the speed of light, n is the refraction index, and \omega_i is the frequency of emitted light. Typical values of \tau_i are about nanoseconds, and these short radiative lifetimes favor the radiative recombination of excitons over the non-radiative one.〔E. I. Rashba, Giant Oscillator Strengths Associated with Exciton Complexes, Sov. Phys. Semicond. 8, 807-816 (1975)〕 When quantum yield of radiative emission is high, the process can be considered as resonance fluorescence.
Similar effects exist for optical transitions between exciton and biexciton states.
An alternative description of the same phenomenon is in terms of polaritons: giant cross-sections of the resonance scattering of electronic polaritons on impurities and lattice defects.
