Nanoelectronics and Nanofabrication
Excitons are bound states formed between an electron and a hole in a semiconductor or insulator, which occur when the electron absorbs energy and transitions to a higher energy level while leaving behind a positively charged hole. This coupling is essential in understanding the behavior of charge carriers in materials, especially under the influence of quantum confinement, where the spatial dimensions of the material restrict the movement of excitons and lead to unique energy quantization effects.
congrats on reading the definition of Excitons. now let's actually learn it.
