The excitonic optical absorption in the presence of a static electric field has been evaluated by solving the effective mass equation numerically. The results are compared with a previous approximate calculation and some experimental measurements. A certain degree of agreement has been found with experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
