description

To model successfully the diversity of electronic structure exhibited by excitons in alkali halides and in oxide materials, it is necessary to use a variety or combination of theoretical methods. In this review we restrict our discussion to the results of embedded quantum cluster calculations. By considering the results of such studies, it is possible to recognize the general similarities and differences in detail between the various exciton models in these materials.
