Ab initio calculation of optical absorption in semiconductors: A density-matrix description
Coulomb renormalization effects and dielectric screening in optically excited semiconductors and semiconductor nanostructures are described within a first-principles density-matrix description. Those dynamic variables and approximation schemes that are required for a proper description of dielectric screening are identified. It is shown that within the random-phase approximation the direct Coulomb interactions …
