Linear, diatomic crystal: single-electron states and large-radius excitons

Abstract

The large-radius exciton spectrum in a linear crystal with two atoms in the unit cell was obtained using the single-electron eigenfunctions and the band structure, which were found by the zero-range potential (ZRP) method. The ground-state exciton binding energies for the crystal in vacuum appeared to be larger than the corresponding energy gaps for any set of the crystal parameters.
