Wannier exciton wavefunctions and energies have been computed in superlattices of strained Ga1xInxAs/GaAs(001) quantum wells (SLQWs) using Luttinger Hamiltonian and accurate variational envelope functions. Exciton dispersion curves of the SLQWs are then obtained by computing exciton energies for different K-points of the corresponding first Brillouin zone. Photon dispersion curves, due to the background dielectric constant modulation, and the polariton dispersion curves have been computed in the semiclassical self-consistent framework. The results are discussed for the case of exciton energies far from the photonic gaps.

Abstract
Wannier exciton wavefunctions and energies have been computed in superlattices of strained Ga1xInxAs/GaAs(001) quantum wells (SLQWs) using Luttinger Hamiltonian and accurate variational envelope functions. Exciton dispersion curves of the SLQWs are then obtained by computing exciton energies for different K-points of the corresponding first Brillouin zone. Photon dispersion curves, due to the background dielectric constant modulation, and the polariton dispersion curves have been computed in the semiclassical self-consistent framework. The results are discussed for the case of exciton energies far from the photonic gaps.File in questo prodotto:
