ELECTRON-EXCITON INELASTIC-COLLISION CROSS-SECTIONS FOR DIFFERENT SEMICONDUCTORS

The electron-exciton inelastic collision cross sections for the different semiconductors CdS, ZnO, CdSe, Si, Cu2O, CuCl, CuBr and CuI have been calculated in the Glauber approximation. The transitions 1s-2s, 1s-3s, 1s-2p and 1s-3p have been considered. The calculations are carried out as function of the different available values of σ = m*e m*h where m*e and m*h are, respectively, the electron a corresponding semiconductors. © 1979.
