Josephson Currents in the Bilayer Exciton Condensate
Reducing the dimension of an electronic charge system from three to two leads to the emergence of intriguing phenomena like the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE) or special forms of superconductivity . Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in GaAs quantum wells embedded in AlGaAs buffer layers are unique because of their extreme high purity characterized by electron and hole mobi...
متن کاملExciton condensate in semiconductor quantum well structures.
We propose that the exciton condensate may form in a well-controlled way in appropriately arranged semiconductor quantum well structures. The mean-field theory of Keldysh and Kopaev, exact in both the high density and the low density limits, is solved numerically to illustrate our proposal. The electron-hole pairing gap and the excitation spectrum of the exciton condensate are obtained. The ene...
متن کاملBerry phase effect on the exciton transport and on the exciton Bose-Einstein condensate.
With the exciton lifetime much extended in semiconductor quantum-well structures, the exciton transport and Bose-Einstein condensation have become a focus of research in recent years. We reveal a momentum-space gauge field in the exciton center-of-mass dynamics due to Berry phase effects. We predict a spin-dependent transport of the excitons analogous to the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects fo...
متن کاملOn the dark nature of exciton Bose-Einstein condensate
We show that for the very same reason that excitons are bright, i.e. coupled to photons, they have a higher energy than dark excitons, even for electrons spatially separated from holes, such as in a double quantum well. Indeed, the same channel which produces the finite electron-hole effective overlap responsible for the absorption and emission of photon allows for Coulomb interband exchange pr...
متن کاملRevealing the dark side of a bright exciton–polariton condensate
Condensation of bosons causes spectacular phenomena such as superfluidity or superconductivity. Understanding the nature of the condensed particles is crucial for active control of such quantum phases. Fascinating possibilities emerge from condensates of light-matter-coupled excitations, such as exciton-polaritons, photons hybridized with hydrogen-like bound electron-hole pairs. So far, only th...
