Abstract: | A pressed CuCl pellet is optically excited at 2 K using an excitation energy in the range from 1892 to 2843 meV, which is far below the bandgap. The steady-state population dynamics unambiguously indicates an unusual two-photon generation of ground-state excitons. At high-excitation levels, the observed spectra exhibit rich spectral features arising from electron-hole plasma and electron-hole droplets formation. This nonresonant two-photon excitation is presumably assisted by impurity bands due to grain boundaries and surfaces in this random semiconductor. |
