Dynamical excitonic effects in metals and semiconductors
Andrea Marini, Rodolfo Del Sole
Abstract
The dynamics of an electron--hole pair induced by the time--dependent screened Coulomb interaction is discussed. In contrast to the case where the static electron--hole interaction is considered we demonstrate the occurrence of important dynamical excitonic effects in the solution of the Bethe--Salpeter equation.This is illustrated in the calculated absorption spectra of noble metals (copper and silver) and silicon. Dynamical corrections strongly affect the spectra, partially canceling dynamical self--energy effects and leading to good agreement with experiment.
