“…10 Its influence on the exciton Rydberg in semiconductor quantum wells was calculated by Hanamura et al 11 Ishihara et al 12,13 applied it to the inorganic-organic layered perovskites. A practical model to deal with excitons in the perovskite compounds, which includes not only the potential confinement but also the dielectric confinement effect, was proposed by Muljarov et al, 14 and the model has been further verified in detail by means of two-photon and the electroabsorption spectroscopies by Tanaka et al 15 By these efforts, it seems to be established that the excitons in two-dimensional perovskites are elucidated quite well as two-dimensional Wannier excitons, although their in-plane exciton Bohr radii are no more than several times as large as the unit cell. Hereafter in this paper, unless otherwise noted, we shall limit our discussion to the two-dimensional perovskites, which we call the inorganic-organic layered semiconductors.…”
