摘要
Electron-hole pair excitations in the insulating cuprates Sr2CuO2Cl2 were investigated by angle-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy. The optically allowed and optically forbidden transitions were observed to be strongly anisotropic in the Cu-O-2 plane. The former show a large energy dispersion similar to 1.5 eV along [110], and the latter appear at a higher energy position (similar to 4.5 eV) only along [100], but not along [110]. We interpret these results as transitions involving excitons. A small exciton model is examined to explain both the observed features.
