The coupling of these quasiparticles with Mie resonances leads to the tunability of TMDC nanoresonators. Leonid Keldysh predicted that, at low temperature and high density, a gas of these quasiparticles undergoes a Mott transition to form a strongly-correlated liquid. When the components of these quasiparticles are spatially confined to separate layers, they are called “indirect” and are ideal for studying BECs. The energy levels of these quasiparticles are given by the (*) Rydberg constant divided by n-squared, since they behave like hydrogen atoms. Smaller examples of these quasiparticles are named for Yakov Frenkel, while larger ones are named for Wannier and Mott. These Coulombically-attracted quasiparticles have energy just below the band gap. For 10 points, name these bound states consisting of an electron and a hole. ■END■
ANSWER: excitons [accept Frenkel excitons or Wannier-Mott excitons; accept exciton polaritons; prompt on bosons; prompt on quasiparticles before “quasiparticles”; reject either “electrons” or “holes” alone]
