17. The z-component of the total angular momentum of the excitons is given by (formula presented) or (formula presented) respectively. Due to the exchange interaction the eigenstates of the bright excitons are either pure (formula presented) states or coherent superpositions of those depending on the symmetry of the QD [see Kulakovskii et al., Ref. 13].
