We study the photoluminescence (PL) of a two-dimensional liquid of oriented dipolar excitons in In_{x}Ga_{1-x}As coupled double quantum wells confined to a microtrap. Generating excitons outside the trap and transferring them at lattice temperatures down to T = 240 mK into the trap we create cold quasi-equilibrium bosonic ensembles of some 1000 excitons with thermal de Broglie wavelengths exceeding the excitonic separation. With decreasing temperature and increasing density n <= 5*10^10 cm^{-2} we find an increasingly asymmetric PL lineshape with a sharpening blue edge and a broad red tail which we interpret to reflect correlated behavior mediated by dipolar interactions. From the PL intensity I(E) below the PL maximum at E_{0} we extract at T < 5 K a distinct power law I(E) sim (E_{0}-E)^-|alpha| with -|alpha|sim -0.8 in the range E_{0}-E of 1.5-4 meV, comparable to the dipolar interaction energy.

Correlations of luminescence intensity have been studied under Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar excitons in the temperature range of 0.45-4.2 K. Photoexcited dipolar excitons were collected in a lateral trap in GaAs/AlGaAs Schottky-diode heteros tructure with single wide (25 nm) quantum well under applied electric bias. Two-photon correlations were measured with the use of a classical Hanbury Brown - Twiss intensity interferometer (time resolution ~0.4 ns). Photon bunching has been observed near the Bose condensation threshold of dipolar excitons determined by the appearance of a narrow luminescence line of exciton condensate at optical pumping increase. The two-photon correlation function shows super-poissonian distribution at time scales of system coherence (<~1 ns). No photon bunching was observed at the excitation pumping appreciably below the condensation threshold. At excitation pumping increasing well above the threshold, when the narrow line of exciton condensate grows in the luminescence spectrum, the photon bunching is decreasing and finally vanishes - the two-photon correlator becomes poissonian reflecting the single-quantum-state origin of excitonic Bose condensate. Under the same conditions a first-order spatial correlator, measured by means of the luminescence interference from spatially separated condensate parts, remains significant. The discovered photon bunching is rather sensitive to temperature: it drops several times with temperature increase from 0.45 K up to 4.2 K. If assumed that the luminescence of dipolar excitons collected in the lateral trap reflects directly coherent properties of interacting exciton gas, the observed phenomenon of photon bunching nearby condensation threshold manifests phase transition in interacting exciton Bose gas.
Most theoretical studies of nanoscale transport in molecular junctions rely on the combination of the Landauer formalism with Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) using standard local and semilocal functionals to approximate exchange and correla tion effects. In many cases, the resulting conductance is overestimated with respect to experiments. Recent works have demonstrated that this discrepancy may be reduced when including many-body corrections on top of DFT. Here we study benzene-dithiol (BDT) gold junctions and analyze the effect of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) on the calculation of the conductance with respect to different bonding geometries. We find that the many-body corrections to the conductance strongly depend on the metal-molecule coupling strength. In the BDT junction with the lowest coupling, many-body corrections reduce the overestimation on the conductance to a factor two, improving the agreement with experiments. In contrast, in the strongest coupling cases, many-body corrections on the conductance are found to be sensibly smaller and standard DFT reveals a valid approach.
Diluted magnetic semiconductors are materials well known to exhibit strong correlations which typically manifest in carrier-mediated magnetic ordering. In this Rapid Communication, we show that the interaction between excitons and magnetic impurities in these materials is even strong enough to cause a significant deviation from the bare exciton picture in linear absorption spectra of quantum well nanostructures. It is found that exciton-impurity correlations induce a characteristic fingerprint in the form of an additional feature close to the exciton resonance in combination with a shift of the main exciton line of up to a few meV. We trace back these features to the form of the self-energy and demonstrate that reliable values of the average correlation energy per exciton can be extracted directly from the spectra. Since the only requirement for our findings is sufficiently strong correlations, the results can be generalized to other strongly correlated systems.
We report a two-dimensional artificial lattice for dipolar excitons confined in a GaAs double quantum well. Exploring the regime of large fillings per lattice site, we verify that the lattice depth competes with the magnitude of excitons repulsive di polar interactions to control the degree of localisation in the lattice potential. Moreover, we show that dipolar excitons radiate a narrow-band photoluminescence, with a spectral width of a few hundreds of micro-eV at 340 mK, in both localised and delocalised regimes. This makes our device suitable for explorations of dipolar excitons quasi-condensation in a periodic potential.
We show that a magnetic field perpendicular to an AlGaAs/GaAs coupled quantum well efficiently traps dipolar excitons and leads to the stabilization of the excitonic formation and confinement in the illumination area. Hereby, the density of dipolar e xcitons is remarkably enhanced up to $sim 10^{11} cm^{-2}$. By means of Landau level spectroscopy we study the density of excess holes in the illuminated region. Depending on the excitation power and the applied electric field, the hole density can be tuned over one order of magnitude up to $sim 2.5$ $10^{11} cm^{-2}$ - a value comparable with typical carrier densities in modulation-doped structures.
