报告摘要： 

The free exciton is the most elementary optical excitation in insulating solids, being a coulombic bound state between electron and hole in their relative space. At present, however, its wave function can be known, only by some theoretical calculations for valence and conduction band energy curves, as well as for the effective electron-hole attraction. Here, we study a time and momentum resolved photo-electron emission (PEE) process from a free exciton in insulating crystals. In this PEE process, only the electron constituting the exciton is suddenly emitted out of the crystal, while the hole constituting the exciton is still left inside and forced to be recoiled back to its original valence band. This recoil on the hole is surely reflected in the spectrum of the PEE with a statistical distribution along the momentum-energy curve of the valence band. This distribution is nothing but the wave function of the exciton, since it shows how the electron and the hole are originally bound together. Thus, the momentum-resolved PEE can directly determine the exciton wave function without any theoretical calculations. These problems are clarified, taking the Γ and the saddle point excitons in GaAs and Cu2O, as typical examples.
