24. The long-range part of the exchange term in the electron-hole interaction contributes to the exciton energy as -2e2Îa2/aQ2log(|Qd|), where d is the tube diameter (see also Perebeinos, cond-mat/0506775). This extra effect modifies the exciton mass but it makes a rather minor quantitative change in the effective radiative lifetime.
