Spin–orbit splitting in diamond: excitons and acceptor related states

Abstract The spin–orbit splitting Δ 0 =13 meV calculated ab initio for the Γ 8 + valence band state of diamond differs from that observed for acceptors (≃2 meV ) and exciton states (≃7xa0meV). A full-zone k · p band structure, together with a Slater–Koster attractive potential, is used to explain these differences and thus clarify the contradictory assignments of spin–orbit splittings found in the literature for diamond.

Electron-phonon renormalization of the absorption edge of the cuprous halides

Compared to most tetrahedral semiconductors, the temperature dependence of the absorption edges of the cuprous halides (CuCl, CuBr, CuI) is very small. CuCl and CuBr show a small increase of the gap
