Influence of electron-hole plasma on Rydberg excitons in cuprous oxide

Abstract

We develop a many-body approach to the behavior of exciton bound states and the conduction electron band edge in a surrounding electron-hole plasma with a focus on the absorption spectrum of Rydberg excitons in cuprous oxide. The interplay of band edge and exciton levels is analyzed numerically, whereby the self-consistent solution is compared to the semiclassical Debye approximation. Our results provide criteria which allow to verify or rule out the different band edge models against future experimental data.
