Excitons in electrostatic traps
We consider in-plane electrostatic traps for indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells, where the traps are formed by a laterally modulated gate voltage. An intrinsic obstacle for exciton confinement in electrostatic traps is an in-plane electric field that can lead to exciton dissociation. We propose a design to suppress the in-plane electric field and, at the same time, to effectively confin...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional electrostatic lattices for indirect excitons
We report on a method for the realization of two-dimensional electrostatic lattices for excitons using patterned interdigitated electrodes. Lattice structure is set by the electrode pattern and depth of the lattice potential is controlled by applied voltages. We demonstrate square, hexagonal, and honeycomb lattices created by this method.VC 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.368...
متن کاملLocalization-delocalization transition of indirect excitons in lateral electrostatic lattices.
We study transport of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells in linear lattices created by laterally modulated gate voltage. The localization-delocalization transition for transport across the lattice was observed with reducing lattice amplitude or increasing exciton density. The exciton interaction energy at the transition is close to the lattice amplitude. These results are co...
متن کاملTrapping indirect excitons in a GaAs quantum-well structure with a diamond-shaped electrostatic trap.
We report on the principle and realization of a new trap for excitons--the diamond electrostatic trap--which uses a single electrode to create a confining potential for excitons. We also create elevated diamond traps which permit evaporative cooling of the exciton gas. We observe the collection of excitons towards the trap center with increasing exciton density. This effect is due to screening ...
متن کاملNanotube in a periodic potential: A conveyer belt for electrons
We consider a carbon nanotube gated slightly away from the half-filled π-band, in the presence of an externally applied periodic potential. We show that the electron states can become locked by the potential when the electron density (counted from half-filling) corresponds to a rational number of electrons per potential period. At such densities, excitation gaps open up in the spectrum. When ga...
