摘要: The binding energies of the excitons arising from two highest hole subbands have been calculated including coupling between heavy and light holes nonparabolicity in conduction band. It is found to increase by less than 1.8 MeV above those obtained for simple models. However, subband mixing considerably increases oscillator strength exciton with p-symmetry forbidden transition (HH2-E1) allows observation this experiments. Its energy therefore significantly smaller value normally used estimate minimum.
