Trion ladder diagrams
Abstract
We first derive a new ``commutation technique'' for an exciton interacting with electrons, inspired from the one we recently developed for excitons interacting with excitons. These techniques allow to take \emph{exactly} into account the possible exchanges between carriers. We use it to get the $\mathrm{X}^-$ trion creation operator in terms of exciton and free-electron creation operators. In a last part we generate the ladder diagrams associated to these trions. Although similar to the exciton ladder diagrams, with the hole replaced by an exciton, they are actually much more tricky : (i) Due to the composite nature of the exciton, one cannot identify an exciton-electron potential similar to the Coulomb potential between electron and hole ; (ii) the spins are unimportant for excitons while they are crucial for trions, singlet and triplet states having different energies.
