EXCITON STRUCTURE AND ZEEMAN EFFECTS IN CADMIUM SELENIDE

Abstract

Observations were made of the exciton spectra in wurtzite cadmium selenide. The identification and subsequent interpretation was facilitated by measurements of the magneto-optical effects of the spectra. A qualitative understanding of the spectra is obtained from a review of the allowed band symmetries at K equals 0,0,0 in crystals of C subscript 6V superscript 4 symmetry. The exciton symmetries and selection rules are obtained group theoretically. A quantitative comparison with an anistropic exciton mass theory, which will be outlined, permits evaluation of the electron and hole mass and g value parameters. (Author)
