27. The 'dark' exciton state at K also may be considered to be a linear combination of Slater determinant crystal states with a conduction band electron at K and a valence band vacancy at K - k for all possible k. We expect that the saturation value for large K exciton density imposed by the fermi exclusion is much larger than the occupancy of dark excitons at K in our experiments. This may be justified on the grounds that the excited dark excitons distribute over the K space with a 2D degeneracy of motion whereas those at K ≈ 0 have a much smaller phase space available.

At very low temperatures, the exciton lifetime has a different form governed by intrinsic radiative lifetime, as obtained by Andreani, L.C., Tassone, F. and Bassani, F., Solid State Commun., 77, 1991, 641.
