Exciton-exciton interaction: A quantitative comparison between complimentary phenomenological models, P. Kumar*, B. De*, R. Tripathi, and R. Singh, Phys. Rev. B 109, 155423 (2024). DOI (*equal contribution)
In semiconductor nanostructures, exciton-exciton interactions play a pivotal role in shaping their optical properties. While these interactions can be addressed through rigorous calculations, they often offer limited physical insights. On the other hand, phenomenological models provide a more intuitive approach that demands fewer computational resources. Here, we quantitatively compare two phenomenological models, which incorporate MBIs differently. As excitons are the bound pairs of electron-hole, one model treats them as fermions and the other as weakly interacting spin-one composite bosons. Both models yield similar results, as demonstrated through two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy simulations, despite their different treatments of many-body interactions. This research suggests a framework for comparing the relative strength of many-body interactions among various excitonic systems, including quantum wells (QWs), layered semiconductors, and perovskite nanomaterials. It might also be applied to novel, condensed phases of excitons such as condensates and superfluids.
