Formation of electron-hole pairs in a one-dimensional random environment
Abstract
We study the formation of electron-hole pairs for disordered systems in the limit of weak electron-hole interactions. We find that both attractive and repulsive interactions lead to electron-hole pair states with large localization length $λ_{2}$ even when we are in this non-excitonic limit. Using a numerical decimation method to calculate the decay of the Green function along the diagonal of finite samples, we investigate the dependence of $λ_2(U)$ on disorder, interaction strength $U$ and system size. Infinite sample size estimates $ξ_{2}(U)$ are obtained by finite-size scaling. The results show a great similarity to the problem of two interacting electrons in the same random one-dimensional potential.
