We investigate the phases of two-dimensional electron-hole systems strongly coupled to a microcavity photon field in the limit of extreme charge imbalance. Using variational wave functions, we examine the competition between different electron-hole paired states for the specific cases of semiconducting III-V single quantum wells, electron-hole bilayers, and transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers embedded in a planar microcavity. We show how the Fermi sea of excess charges modifies both the electron-hole bound state (exciton) properties and the dielectric constant of the cavity active medium, which in turn affects the photon component of the many-body polariton ground state. On the one hand, long-range Coulomb interactions and Pauli blocking of the Fermi sea promote electron-hole pairing with finite center-of-mass momentum, corresponding to an excitonic roton minimum. On the other hand, the strong coupling to the ultra-low-mass cavity photon mode favors zero-momentum pairs. We discuss the prospect of observing different types of electron-hole pairing in the photon spectrum.

We propose a state of excitonic solid for double layer two dimensional electron hole systems in transition metal dicalcogenides stacked on opposite sides of thin layers of BN. Properties of the exciton lattice such as its Lindemann ratio and possible supersolid behaviour are studied. We found that the solid can be stabilized relative to the fluid by the potential due to the BN.
We observe for the first time two-photon excited condensation of exciton-polaritons. The angle-resolved photoluminescence (PL) from the Lower Polariton (LP) ground state in our planar GaAs-based microcavity structure exhibits a clear intensity threshold as a function of increased two-photon excitation power, coinciding with an interaction-induced blueshift and a narrowing of spectral linewidth, characteristic of the transition from a thermal distribution of lower polaritons to polariton condensation. Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) is evidenced in the quadratic dependence of the input-output curves below and above the threshold region. Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is ruled out by both this threshold behavior and by scanning the pump photon energy and observing a lack of dependence of the LP emission peak energy. Our results pave the way towards realization of a polariton-based stimulated THz radiation source, stemming from the dipole-allowed transition from the Quantum Well (QW) 2p dark exciton state to the 1s-exciton-based LP ground state, as theoretically predicted in [A. V. Kavokin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 197401 (2012)].
Three-particle complexes consisting of two holes in the completely filled zero electron Landau level and an excited electron in the unoccupied first Landau level are investigated in a quantum Hall insulator. The distinctive features of these three-particle complexes are an electron-hole mass symmetry and the small energy gap of the quantum Hall insulator itself. Theoretical calculations of the trion energy spectrum in a quantizing magnetic field predict that, besides the ground state, trions feature a hierarchy of excited bound states. In agreement with the theoretical simulations, we observe new photoluminescence lines related to the excited trion states. A relatively small energy gap allows the binding of three-particle complexes with magnetoplasma oscillations and formation of plasmarons. The plasmaron properties are investigated experimentally.
Spectroscopic methods involving the sudden injection or ejection of electrons in materials are a powerful probe of electronic structure and interactions. These techniques, such as photoemission and tunneling, yield measurements of the single particle density of states (SPDOS) spectrum of a system. The SPDOS is proportional to the probability of successfully injecting or ejecting an electron in these experiments. It is equal to the number of electronic states in the system able to accept an injected electron as a function of its energy and is among the most fundamental and directly calculable quantities in theories of highly interacting systems. However, the two-dimensional electron system (2DES), host to remarkable correlated electron states such as the fractional quantum Hall effect, has proven difficult to probe spectroscopically. Here we present an improved version of time domain capacitance spectroscopy (TDCS) that now allows us to measure the SPDOS of a 2DES with unprecedented fidelity and resolution. Using TDCS, we perform measurements of a cold 2DES, providing the first direct measurements of the single-particle exchange-enhanced spin gap and single particle lifetimes in the quantum Hall system, as well as the first observations of exchange splitting of Landau levels not at the Fermi surface. The measurements reveal the difficult to reach and beautiful structure present in this highly correlated system far from the Fermi surface.
Two-dimensional electrons confined to GaAs quantum wells are hallmark platforms for probing electron-electron interaction. Many key observations have been made in these systems as sample quality improved over the years. Here, we present a breakthrough in sample quality via source-material purification and innovation in GaAs molecular beam epitaxy vacuum chamber design. Our samples display an ultra-high mobility of $44times10^6$ cm$^2$/Vs at an electron density of $2.0times10^{11}$ /cm$^2$. These results imply only 1 residual impurity for every $10^{10}$ Ga/As atoms. The impact of such low impurity concentration is manifold. Robust stripe/bubble phases are observed, and several new fractional quantum Hall states emerge. Furthermore, the activation gap of the $ u=5/2$ state, which is widely believed to be non-Abelian and of potential use for topological quantum computing, reaches $Deltasimeq820$ mK. We expect that our results will stimulate further research on interaction-driven physics in a two-dimensional setting and significantly advance the field.
