← ScienceWhich mechanism causes exciton formation rather than free carriers in a semiconductor with a significant band gap under optical excitation?
A)Strong electron-hole Coulomb Interaction✓
B)Phonon-mediated energy relaxation
C)Thermal electron-hole separation
D)Quantum tunneling through gap.
💡 Explanation
Strong electron-hole Coulomb Interaction creates exciton formation. It mediates the attraction between the excited electron and resulting hole, because the energy required to separate them exceeds available thermal energy, therefore excitons form, rather than free carriers which require overcoming this Coulombic binding.
