It begins with an introduction to crystal lattice, band structure of solids, effective mass theory, and holes. It then explores the binding energy of various excitons and their complexes (such as trions and biexcitons) in different dimensions within the framework of effective mass approximation, discusses the absorption and emission of photons during their creation and recombination processes providing experimental examples in photo-absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Theoretical foundations for calculating the dielectric function associated with excitons along with the concept of 'exciton-polaritons' are introduced. The book also examines the interaction between excitons and phonons, which is illustrated with experimental findings. Further, it discusses the effects of magnetic field on the energy eigenstates of excitons, and talks about polarization-resolved spectroscopy under magnetic field for identifying excitons and obtaining deeper insight of the excitonic structure as well as the semiconductor band structure. Lastly, it delves into the manybody effects i.e. Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons and excitonic Mott transition, presenting recent experimental findings and potential applications. Throughout, emphasis is placed on elucidating fundamental concepts while keeping readers abreast of the latest developments in the field. With a focus on experimental methods and data interpretation, the book serves as an invaluable resource for both graduate students and research scholars. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Solid-State Sciences,$x2197-4179 ;$v204 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aLow temperatures 606 $aBose-Einstein condensation 606 $aMaterials$xAnalysis 606 $aOptoelectronic devices 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aLow Temperature Physics 606 $aBose-Einstein Condensate 606 $aMaterials Characterization Technique 606 $aOptoelectronic Devices 615 0$aSemiconductors. 615 0$aLow temperatures. 615 0$aBose-Einstein condensation. 615 0$aMaterials$xAnalysis. 615 0$aOptoelectronic devices. 615 14$aSemiconductors. 615 24$aLow Temperature Physics. 615 24$aBose-Einstein Condensate. 615 24$aMaterials Characterization Technique. 615 24$aOptoelectronic Devices. 676 $a537.622 700 $aDhar$b Subhabrata$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01816921 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910996495403321 996 $aExcitons in Semiconductors$94374132 997 $aUNINA
