Time-Dependent Photoluminescence and Photoluminescence Excitation in Exciton Systems and Related Phenomena

Abstract

The term “exciton” covers an extremely diverse range of materials, phenomena, processes, interactions, and experimental techniques. This review provides a general introduction-with selected descriptive examples-of excitonic systems with an emphasis on excitonic photoluminescence and photoexcitation spectroscopy in the ultrafast time-resolved femtosecond time domain.
