Rydberg excitons in Cu2O microcrystals grown on a silicon platform
Cu2O is of great interest for its excitonic properties, yet challenges in its fabrication means that most experiments focus on naturally occurring samples. Here, scalable thermal oxidation is reported for the growth of Cu2O with low-defect content, allowing the observation of Rydberg excitons.
