Spin Multiplicity

[edit]

The article states that trions can exist as singlet or triplet states, giving total spins at odds with these multiplicities. I'm not knowledgeable in this field, but if they're spin-half I think they should be ground state doublets with a quartet excited state. Expert attention required.

The explanation is: not all three particles of the trion are interchangeable (2x electrons/holes and 1x hole/electron). Materialscientist (talk) 23:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for the clarification - yes, the current explanation is quite satisfactory. Regards, Eutactic (talk) 23:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
