Exciton states of the optical electrons of Al2O3 nanoparticles in dielectric matrix

The report presents and analyzes the experimental results luminescence study alumina and theoretical results showing that the dielectric nanoparticles have the exciton states of electrons with binding energy of several electron volts, which are excited by the weak optical laser radiation. Such materials with a wide spectrum of exciton states are important for creation: exciton lasers and optical emitters; receiving and emitting optical nano-antennas; control and processing information and signals; generation low-power optical solitons; optical computers etc.
