چکیده

The collective properties of different quasiparticles in various graphene-based structures in a high magnetic field have been studied. We predict Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and the superfluidity of 2D spatially indirect magnetoexcitons in a two-layer graphene. The superfluid density and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition are shown to be increasing functions of the excitonic density but decreasing functions of a magnetic field and the interlayer separation. The instability of the ground state of the interacting 2D indirect magnetoexcitons in a slab of superlattice with alternating electron and hole graphene layers (GLs) is established. The stable system of indirect 2D magnetobiexcitons, consisting of a pair of indirect excitons with antiparallel dipole moments, is considered in a graphene superlattice. The superfluid density and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition for magnetobiexcitons in a graphene superlattice are obtained. Moreover, the BEC of excitonic polaritons in a GL embedded in a semiconductor microcavity in a high magnetic field is predicted. While the superfluid phase in this magnetoexciton polariton system is absent due to a vanishing magnetoexciton-magnetoexciton interaction in a single layer in the limit of a high magnetic field, the critical temperature of the BEC formation is calculated. The observation of the BEC and superfluidity of 2D quasiparticles in graphene in a high magnetic field would be interesting confirmation of the phenomena we have described.

Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of trapped polaritons in graphene and quantum wells embedded in a microcavity.

The theory for spontaneous coherence of short-lived quasiparticles in two-dimensional excitonic systems is reviewed, in particular, quantum wells (QWs) and graphene layers (GLs) embedded in microcavities. Experiments with polaritons in an optical microcavity have already shown evidence of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the lowest quantum state in a harmonic trap. The theory of BEC and supe...

Towards Bose-Einstein Condensation of Electron Pairs: Role of Schwinger Bosons

It can be shown that the bosonic degree of freedom of the tightly bound on-site electron pairs could be separated as Schwinger bosons. This is implemented by projecting the whole Hilbert space into the Hilbert subspace spanned by states of two kinds of Schwinger bosons (to be called binon and vacanon) subject to a constraint that these two kinds of bosonic quasiparticles cannot occupy the same ...

Transition to a Bose–Einstein condensate and relaxation explosion of excitons at sub-Kelvin temperatures

Quasiparticles in quantum many-body systems have essential roles in modern physical problems. Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of excitons in semiconductors is one of the unobserved quantum statistical phenomena predicted in the photoexcited quasiparticles in many-body electrons. In particular, para-excitons in cuprous oxide have been studied for decades because the decoupling from the radiatio...

Bose-Einstein Condensation of Long-Lifetime Polaritons in Thermal Equilibrium.

The experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) with atoms and quasiparticles has triggered wide exploration of macroscopic quantum effects. Microcavity polaritons are of particular interest because quantum phenomena such as BEC and superfluidity can be observed at elevated temperatures. However, polariton lifetimes are typically too short to permit thermal equilibration. This ...

Strong acoustic turbulence and the speed of Bose-Einstein condensation

The final stage of Bose-Einstein condensation in a large volume occurs through coarsening—growth of individual correlated patches. We present analytical arguments and numerical evidence that in the momentum space this growth corresponds to strong turbulence of the particle number, with a turbulent cascade towards the infrared and the power law n(k) ∝ k−(d+1) in d = 2, 3 spatial dimensions. As a...
