Wannier equation : ウィキペディア英語版
Wannier equation
The Wannier equation describes a quantum mechanical eigenvalue problem in solids where an electron in a conduction band and an electronic vacancy (i.e. hole) within a valence band attract each other via the Coulomb interaction. For one electron and one hole, this problem is analogous to the Schrödinger equation of the hydrogen atom; and the bound-state solutions are called excitons. When an exciton's radius extends over several unit cells, it is referred to as a Wannier exciton in contrast to Frenkel excitons whose size is comparable with the unit cell. An excited solid typically contains many electrons and holes; this modifies the Wannier equation considerably. The resulting generalized Wannier equation can be determined from the homogeneous part of the semiconductor Bloch equations or the semiconductor luminescence equations.
==Background==

Since an electron and a hole have opposite charges their mutual Coulomb interaction is attractive. The corresponding Schrödinger equation, in relative coordinate \mathbf, has the same form as the hydrogen atom:

-\left(\frac + V(\mathbf) \right ) \phi_\lambda (\mathbf) = E_\lambda \phi_\lambda (\mathbf)\,,

with the potential given by

V(\mathbf) = \frac\,.

Here, \hbar is the reduced Planck constant, \nabla is the nabla operator, \mu is the reduced mass, -|e| (+|e|) is the elementary charge related to an electron (hole), \varepsilon_r is the relative permittivity, and \varepsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity. The solutions of the Hydrogen atom are described by eigenfunction \phi_\lambda (\mathbf) and eigenenergy E_\lambda where \lambda is a quantum number labeling the different states.
In a solid, the scaling of E_\lambda and the wavefunction size are orders of magnitude different from the hydrogen problem because the relative permittivity \varepsilon_r is roughly ten and the reduced mass in a solid is much smaller than the electron rest mass m_e, i.e., \mu \ll m_e. As a result, the exciton radius can be large while the exciton binding energy is small, typically few to hundreds of meV, depending on material, compared to eV for the Hydrogen problem.〔Haug, H.; Koch, S.

Springer. ISBN 978-3540383451.〕
The Fourier transformed version of the presented Hamiltonian can be written as

E_) - \sum_-\mathbf} \phi_\lambda (\mathbf) = E_\lambda \phi_\lambda (\mathbf)\,,

where \mathbf is the electronic wave vector, E_}, \phi_\lambda (\mathbf) are the Fourier transforms of V(\mathbf), \phi_\lambda (\mathbf), respectively. The Coulomb sums follows from the convolution theorem and the \mathbf-representation is useful when introducing the generalized Wannier equation.
