Excitons in Cu2O -- from Quantum Wells to Bulk Crystals and Additional Boundary Conditions for Rydberg Exciton-Polaritons

Abstract

We propose a scheme for calculation of optical functions of a semiconductor with Rydberg excitons, for a wide interval of dimensions. We start with 2-dimensional structure, then going to thin films and ending on 3-dimensional bulk crystals. The calculations including the polaritons are performed, the case of large number of polariton branches is discussed and obtained theoretical absorption spectra show good agreement with experimental data.
