Observation of high angular momentum excitons in cuprous oxide

Abstract

The recent observation of dipole-allowed $P$-excitons up to principal quantum numbers of $n=25$ in cuprous oxide has given insight into exciton states with unprecedented spectral resolution. While so far the exciton description as a hydrogen-like complex has been sufficient for cubic crystals, we demonstrate here distinct deviations: The breaking of rotational symmetry leads to mixing of high angular momentum $F$- and $H$-excitons with the $P$-excitons so that they can be observed in absorption. The $F$-excitons show a three-fold splitting that depends systematically on $n$, in agreement with theoretical considerations. From detailed comparison of experiment and theory we determine the cubic anisotropy parameter of the Cu${}_2$O valence band.
