The Aharonov-Bohm effect for an exciton — •R.A. Römer1 and M.E. Raikh2 — 1Institut für Physik, Technische Universität, D-09107 Chemnitz — 2Department of Physics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112, U.S.A.
We study theoretically the exciton absorption on a ring threaded by a magnetic flux. For the case when the attraction between electron and hole is short-ranged we get an exact solution of the problem. We demonstrate that, despite the electrical neutrality of the exciton, both the spectral position of the exciton peak in the absorption, and the corresponding oscillator strength oscillate with magnetic flux with a period Φ0—the universal flux quantum. The origin of the effect is the finite probability for electron and hole, created by a photon at the same point, to tunnel in the opposite directions and meet each other on the opposite side of the ring.
