Abstract. The electric polarizability α of ionized-donor-bound exciton D+ X in bulk semiconductor is calculated for all values of the effective electron-to-hole mass ratio σ included in the range of stability (σ<σχ). The calculation is performed within the variational method by using 56-term wave function. An asymptotic behavior of α in the vicinity of the critical value σc is deduced. We have also calculated the limiting value σ for which the polarizability equals that of D− system.

Keywords: exciton, polarizability, wave function, variational method.
