We present measurements of Coulomb drag in an ambipolar GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well structure that can be configured as both an electron-hole bilayer and a hole-hole bilayer, with an insulating barrier of only 10 nm between the two quantum wells. The Coulomb drag resistivity is a direct measure of the strength of the interlayer particle-particle interactions. We explore the strongly interacting regime of low carrier densities (2D interaction parameter $r_s$ up to 14). Our ambipolar device design allows comparison between the effects of the attractive electron-hole and repulsive hole-hole interactions, and also shows the effects of the different effective masses of electrons and holes in GaAs.

We have fabricated AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure devices in which the conduction channel can be populated with either electrons or holes simply by changing the polarity of a gate bias. The heterostructures are entirely undoped, and carriers are instead
induced electrostatically. We use these devices to perform a direct comparison of the scattering mechanisms of two-dimensional (2D) electrons ($mu_textrm{peak}=4times10^6textrm{cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$) and holes ($mu_textrm{peak}=0.8times10^6textrm{cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$) in the same conduction channel with nominally identical disorder potentials. We find significant discrepancies between electron and hole scattering, with the hole mobility being considerably lower than expected from simple theory.
Realising strong photon-photon interactions in a solid-state setting is a major goal with far reaching potential for optoelectronic applications. Using Landaus quasiparticle framework combined with a microscopic many-body theory, we explore the inter
actions between exciton-polaritons and trions in a two-dimensional semiconductor injected with an electron gas inside a microcavity. We show that particle-hole excitations in the electron gas mediate an attractive interaction between the polaritons, whereas a trion-polariton interaction mediated by the exchange of an electron is either repulsive or attractive depending on the specific polariton branch. These mediated interactions are intrinsic to the quasiparticles and are also present in the absence of light. Importantly, they can be tuned to be more than an order of magnitude stronger than the direct polariton-polariton interaction in the absence of the electron gas, thereby providing a promising outlook for non-linear optical components. Finally, we compare our theoretical predictions with two recent experiments.
Coulomb drag between parallel quantum wells provides a uniquely sensitive measurement of electron correlations since the drag response depends on interactions only. Recently it has been demonstrated that a new regime of strong interactions can be acc
essed for devices consisting of two monlolayer graphene (MLG) crystals, separated by few layer hexagonal boron-nitride. Here we report measurement of Coulomb drag in a double bilayer graphene (BLG) stucture, where the interaction potential is anticipated to be yet further enhanced compared to MLG. At low temperatures and intermediate densities a new drag response with inverse sign is observed, distinct from the momentum and energy drag mechanisms previously reported in double MLG. We demonstrate that by varying the device aspect ratio the negative drag component can be suppressed and a response showing excellent agreement with the density and temperature dependance predicted for momentum drag in double BLG is found. Our results pave the way for pursuit of emergent phases in strongly interacting bilayers, such as the exciton condensate.
We explore attractive dipolar interaction in indirect excitons (IXs). For one layer of IXs in a single pair of coupled quantum wells (CQW), the out-of-plane IX electric dipoles lead to repulsive dipolar interaction between IXs. The attractive dipolar
interaction between IXs is realized in a 2-CQW heterostructure with two IX layers in two separated CQW pairs. We found both in experimental measurements and theoretical simulations that increasing density of IXs in one layer causes a monotonic energy reduction for IXs in the other layer. We also found an in-plane shift of a cloud of IXs in one layer towards a cloud of IXs in the other layer. This behaviour is qualitatively consistent with attractive dipolar interaction. The measured IX energy reduction and IX cloud shift are higher than the values given by the correlated liquid theory.
We have observed reproducible fluctuations of the Coulomb drag, both as a function of magnetic field and electron concentration, which are a manifestation of quantum interference of electrons in the layers. At low temperatures the fluctuations exceed
the average drag, giving rise to random changes of the sign of the drag. The fluctuations are found to be much larger than previously expected, and we propose a model which explains their enhancement by considering fluctuations of local electron properties.
