Engineering the Radiative Dynamics of Thermalized Excitons with Metal Interfaces

Here we analyze the emission properties of excitons in two metal structures: placed near a single metal (silver) interface and placed symmetrically at the center of a Fabry-Perot microcavity. The exciton is modeled as a point dipole and as an extended 2D dipole. With the momentum dependent emission rates for the extended exciton, we can also examine its temperature dependent behavior by applying a momentum distribution. We investigate the cases of a Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical distribution and a Bose-Einstein statistical distribution (since excitons form composite bosons). The dataset provided are the Mathematica codes used to generate the plots in our paper. The point dipole results are contained in the notebook files: Emission Rate 2, Multiple Interfaces, Multiple Interfaces_Par (1), and Multiple Interfaces_Perp. The extended exciton results are contained in the notebook files: Extended Exciton 2-3 and BE stats.
