The search for Bose–Einstein condensation of excitons in Cu2O: exciton-Auger recombination versus biexciton formation
Excitons in high-purity crystals of Cu _2 O undergo a density-dependent lifetime that opposes Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC). This rapid decay rate of excitons at a density n has generally been attributed to Auger recombination having the form ${\rm d}n/{\rm d}t=-A{{n}^{2}}$ , where A is an excito...
