    Exchange Interaction

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the electron-hole exchange energy and its implications in many-electron systems. Participants seek to understand whether the electron-hole exchange interaction is symmetric or antisymmetric and how it relates to paired electrons in molecules. Key references include "The Universal Hamiltonian of the Exchange Interaction for the System of Particles with an Arbitrary Spin j" by E. Orlenko (2007) and "Effective Theory of Electron-Hole Exchange in Semiconductor Quantum Dots" by E. S. Kadantsev (2010). The consensus suggests that the exchange with paired electrons can be neglected due to cancellation effects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electron-hole pairs in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with many-electron systems and their interactions
  • Knowledge of exchange energy concepts in quantum chemistry
  • Basic grasp of Hamiltonian mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study "The Universal Hamiltonian of the Exchange Interaction for the System of Particles with an Arbitrary Spin j" by E. Orlenko (2007)
  • Research "Effective Theory of Electron-Hole Exchange in Semiconductor Quantum Dots" by E. S. Kadantsev (2010)
  • Explore the concept of triplet-singlet energy splitting in conjugated molecules
  • Investigate experimental methods for measuring electron-hole exchange interactions
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in quantum mechanics, physicists studying semiconductor properties, and chemists focusing on molecular interactions will benefit from this discussion.

Hello together,

I'm interested in the electron-hole exchange energy. I would like to see how and have a proof why electron-hole exchange works. Is it symmetric or antisymmetric? More specific, I would like to have a proof that exchange with paired electrons in a molecule can be neglected. However - the more general the better.

In order to proof it, one probably has to regard the many-electron exchange interaction. I found
The Universal Hamiltonian of the Exchange Interaction for the System of Particles with an Arbitrary Spin j - E. Orlenko (2007)
but I don't quite get the notation and they do not mention electron-hole exchange.

I'm grateful for any hint, help or tip for literature.

Where are you getting the concept of "electron-hole exchange" from, and what kinds of experiments are you referring to?
 
Electron-hole exchange interaction in a biexciton molecule - W.Ungier (1989)
Effective Theory of Electron-Hole Exchange in Semiconductor Quantum Dots - E. S. Kadantsev (2010)

Both are a bit too specific for me.
The triplet-singlet energy splitting in conjugated molecules results from the exchange between them.
Actually, this exchange is a many-electron exchange but
1) The concept of a hole should be able to also deal with the exchange, right?
2) Paired electrons should not contribute too much, since the exchange with one cancelles the other.
