The exciton effect is connected with electron-electron interaction and for this reason it cannot be considered in the one-electron approximation. It has been shown [2] that in an effective-mass approximation the exciton state is described by the wave equation for electron-hole Coulomb attraction. The solution of this equation gives the energy spectra of the large-radius exciton of a cubic crystal with spherical bands as where p is the reduced mass, M the total exciton mass, k the exciton wave vector, n the main quantum number, and x the dielectric susceptibility. The wave vector of the optical exciton is small and therefore the spectra (2) should forin hydrogenlike series of absorption lines with the Rydberg constant R= p~ e~/2A~~~, if x is supposed to be constant.The consideration of the interband transition, the Coulomb interaction being taken into account, gives discrete and quasicontinuous levels in the region cg-hv< R. The exciton effect (2) transforms strongly the region where hw-E~> 0. I n this case K is approximately constant when the energy is close to the band edge and coincides with K in (1) only for hw-zg>> R.
