But user, this electron hole model is a thing only in condensed matter physics. I dont know if you can find it anywhere else.
To what an undergrad brainlet like me was taught, excitons are more like a state than real matter, thus you can not call it an element ?
> Metaparticles
What.
I think they call it quasiparticle.
I don't get how an electron can interact with a hole if a hole is the absence of said electron. It's like saying an electron can interact with itself.
The OP try to assume that a collection of excitons can be called excitonium , like each exciton is an atom of that.
Via coloumb interaction user. The model is more complex than only an electron and a hole, there are many thing more.
Yes, but how can it interact with empty "space"? Someone has told me that the electron-hole interaction is more complicated than an electron interacting via Coulomb's law with the ion that it left behind.
Well, it starts with jellium model, and it is hard to explain a bunch of quantum field stuff without math tho..
I've taken Quantum Mechanics I (first 5 chapters of Griffiths book). I struggle to understand how "holes" can move slower than electrons if one is just the absence of the other.
> Holes moves slower than electron
Maybe because their efficent mass is higher than electrons. But I still need the document which said that.
How much dirt is in a hole?
