摘要
A theory of long-range exchange interaction between an electron and a hole in a zero-dimensional exciton has been developed taking into account the retardation effect. It has been shown that, for the anisotropic localizing potential in bulk semiconductors or semiconductor nanostructures, the long-range interaction leads to a splitting of radiative localized-exciton levels. Polarization of split sublevels is determined by the shape of;he exciton envelope function. For excitons localized in quantum wells, typical splitting is expected to be tens of mu eV in agreement with recent experiments, (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited.
