Time-dependent density-matrix functional theory for biexcitonic phenomena
Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2010•APS
We formulate a time-dependent density-matrix functional theory (TDDMFT) approach for
higher-order correlation effects like biexcitons in optical processes in solids based on a
reduced two-particle density-matrix formalism within the normal orbital representation. A
TDDMFT version of the Schrödinger equation for biexcitons in terms of one-and two-body
reduced density matrices is derived, which leads to finite biexcitonic binding energies
already with an adiabatic approximation. Biexcitonic binding energies for several bulk …

We formulate a time-dependent density-matrix functional theory (TDDMFT) approach for higher-order correlation effects like biexcitons in optical processes in solids based on a reduced two-particle density-matrix formalism within the normal orbital representation. A TDDMFT version of the Schrödinger equation for biexcitons in terms of one- and two-body reduced density matrices is derived, which leads to finite biexcitonic binding energies already with an adiabatic approximation. Biexcitonic binding energies for several bulk semiconductors are calculated using a contact biexciton model.
