Phys. Rev. B 60, 10565–10568 (1999)Strong nonradiative recombination of excitons in Cu2O and its impact on Bose-Einstein statisticsReceived 28 January 1999; revised 18 May 1999; published in the issue dated 15 October 1999 We have reproduced the spectroscopic evidence for Bose-Einstein statistics of excitons in Cu2O under a variety of conditions. However, our current measurements of the volume of the gas, its brightness, and the dependence of the energy distribution on crystal temperature, are inconsistent with a homogeneous gas of density sufficient to reach the quantum-statistical regime. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
