A New Era of Excitonic Insulators

T Kaneko, Y Ohta - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2025 - journals.jps.jp
The fundamental idea of the excitonic insulator (EI) driven by electron–hole correlations in
narrow-gap semiconductors or semimetals was originally proposed in the 1960s, and only …
