Moving gapless indirect excitons in monolayer graphene

Nanoscale Res Lett. 2012 Oct 30;7(1):599. doi: 10.1186/1556-276X-7-599.

Abstract

: The existence of moving indirect excitons in monolayer graphene is theoretically evidenced in the envelope-function approximation. The excitons are formed from electrons and holes near the opposite conic points. The electron-hole binding is conditioned by the trigonal warping of the electron spectrum. It is stated that the exciton exists in some sectors of the exciton momentum space and has the strong trigonal warping of the spectrum.
