RESUMO
We report on optical visualization of spin propagation more than 100 µm. We present an electronic system in a new state of aggregation, the magnetofermionic condensate, in which the lowest-energy spin excitations - photoexcited spin-triplet magnetoexcitons - freely propagate over long distances, in the order of a millimeter, which implies non-diffusion spin transport. Our results open up a completely new system suitable for spintronic devices.
RESUMO
Resonant optical excitation was used to create a macroscopic nonequilibrium ensemble of "dark" excitons with an unprecedented long lifetime in a two-dimensional electron system placed in a quantizing magnetic field. Exotic three-particle and four-particle states, plasmarons and plasmon-exciton molecules, coupled with the surrounding electrons through the collective plasma oscillations are engineered. Plasmarons and plasmon-exciton molecules are manifested as new features in the recombination spectra of nonequilibrium systems.
RESUMO
Coherent condensate states of particles obeying either Bose or Fermi statistics are in the focus of interest in modern physics. Here we report on condensation of collective excitations with Bose statistics, cyclotron magnetoexcitons, in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in a magnetic field. At low temperatures, the dense non-equilibrium ensemble of long-lived triplet magnetoexcitons exhibits both a drastic reduction in the viscosity and a steep enhancement in the response to the external electromagnetic field. The observed effects are related to formation of a super-absorbing state interacting coherently with the electromagnetic field. Simultaneously, the electrons below the Fermi level form a super-emitting state. The effects are explicable from the viewpoint of a coherent condensate phase in a non-equilibrium system of two-dimensional fermions with a fully quantized energy spectrum. The condensation occurs in the space of vectors of magnetic translations, a property providing a completely new landscape for future physical investigations.
RESUMO
Temperature-dependent reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra are studied for undoped ultra-wide 150 and 250 nm GaAs quantum wells. It is shown that spectral features previously attributed to a size quantization of the exciton motion in the z-direction coincide well with energies of quantized levels for light holes. Furthermore, optical spectra reveal very similar properties at temperatures above the exciton dissociation point.

We report on the observation of a new spin mode in a quantum Hall system in the vicinity of odd electron filling factors under experimental conditions excluding the possibility of Skyrmion excitations. The new mode having presumably zero energy at odd filling factors emerges at small deviations from odd filling factors and couples to the spin exciton. The existence of an extra spin mode assumes a nontrivial magnetic order at partial fillings of Landau levels surrounding quantum Hall ferromagnets other then the Skyrmion crystal.
RESUMO
The effect of tunneling on the transport properties of quantum Hall double layers in the regime of the excitonic condensate at a total filling factor one is studied in counterflow experiments. If the tunnel current I is smaller than a critical I{C}, tunneling is large and is effectively shorting the two layers. For I>I{C} tunneling becomes negligible. Surprisingly, the transition between the two tunneling regimes has only a minor impact on the features of the filling-factor one state as observed in magnetotransport, but at currents exceeding I{C} the resistance along the layers increases rapidly.
RESUMO
Inelastic light scattering spectroscopy discloses a novel type of cyclotron spin-flip excitation in a quantum Hall system around the nu = 1/3 filling. The excitation energy follows qualitatively the degree of electron spin polarization, reaching a maximum value at nu = 1/3. This characterizes the new excitation as a nu = 1/3 ferromagnet eigenmode. The mode energy exceeds drastically the theoretical prediction obtained within the renowned single-mode approximation. We develop a new theoretical approach where the basis set is extended by adding a double-exciton component representing the cyclotron magnetoplasmon and spin wave coupled together. This double-mode approximation, inferred to be responsible for substantially reducing the gap between theoretical and experimental results, shows that the cyclotron spin-flip excitation is effectively a four-particle state.
