Excitonic physics in a Dirac quantum dot
arXiv:1712.00231 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.195434
Abstract
We present a description of vacuum polarization in a circular Dirac quantum dot in two spatial dimensions assuming - the relative strength of the Coulomb interaction small enough to render an approximation with a single electron (hole) lowest energy level relevant. Applying this approximation, we find that for the lowest level is half-filled irrespective of the number of flavors that are present. The ground state can be represented as a superposition of particular (even number) excitonic states which constitute an excitonic cloud that evolves in a crossover manner. The ground state is degenerate with an intervalley excitonic state at , a critical strength, that in our approximation marks a point with single electron and exciton resonances.
