Density distribution of cold exciton clouds generated into a strain-induced potential well by two-photon excitation in Cu$_2$O is studied at 2 K. We find that an anomalous spike, which can be interpreted as accumulation of the excitons into the ground state, emerges at the potential minimum. The accumulation can be due to stimulated scattering of cold excitons, mediated by acoustic phonon emission. Possibility of the formation of the thermodynamic Bose-Einstein condensate of paraexcitons has been discussed.

High-lying Rydberg states of Mott-Wannier excitons are receiving considerable interest due to the possibility of adding long-range interactions to the physics of exciton-polaritons. Here, we study Rydberg excitation in bulk synthetic cuprous oxide gr
own by the optical float zone technique and compare the result with natural samples. X-ray characterization confirms both materials are mostly single crystal, and mid-infrared transmission spectroscopy revealed little difference between synthetic and natural material. The synthetic samples show principal quantum numbers up to $n=10$, exhibit additional absorption lines, plus enhanced spatial broadening and spatial inhomogeneity. Room temperature and cryogenic photoluminescence measurements reveal a significant excess of copper vacancies in the synthetic material. These measurements provide a route towards achieving mbox{high-$n$} excitons in synthetic crystals, opening a route to scalable quantum devices.
We present a novel spectroscopic technique for second harmonic generation (SHG) using femtosecond laser pulses at 30~kHz repetition rate, which nevertheless provides high spectral resolution limited only by the spectrometer. The potential of this met
hod is demonstrated by applying it to the yellow exciton series of Cu$_2$O. Besides even parity states with $S-$ and $D-$ envelope, we also observe odd parity, $P-$ excitons with linewidths down to 100 $mu$eV, despite of the broad excitation laser spectrum with a full width at half maximum of 14~meV. The underlying light-matter interaction mechanisms of SHG are elaborated by a group theoretical analysis which allows us to determine the linear and circular polarization dependences, in good agreement with experiment.
The formation of the photo-polaronic excitons in ABO_{3} perovskite type oxides has been detected experimentally by means of the photoinduced electron paramagnetic resonance studies of KTa_{0.998}Nb_{0.012}O_{3} crystals. The corresponding microwave
X-band spectrum at T < 10 K consists of a narrow, nearly isotropic signal located at g ~ 2 and a strongly anisotropic component. The first signal, which has a rich structure due to hyperfine interactions with the lattice nuclei, is attributed to the single trapped charge carriers: the electrons and/or the holes. The anisotropic spectrum is caused by the axial centers oriented along the C_{4} pseudo-cubic principal crystalline axes. The spectrum angular dependence can be described well by an axial center with S = 1, g_{parallel) = 0.82, g_{perp} = 0.52 and D = 0.44 cm^{-1}. The anisotropic spectrum is attributed to the Nb^{4+}-O^{-} polaronic excitons. The temperature dependence of the anisotropic component is characterized by two activation energies: the internal dynamics activation E_{a1} = 3.7pm0.5 meV, which makes the EPR spectrum unobservable above 10 K, and the destruction energy E_{a2} = 52pm4 meV. By comparing the anisotropic photo-EPR spectrum and the photoinduced optical absorption temperature dependencies, we found that the Nb^{4+}-O^{-} polaronic excitons also manifested themselves via the ~0.7 eV wide absorption band arising under UV light excitation in the weakly concentrated KTaO_{3}:Nb crystals.
Spin density waves, based on modulated local moments, are usually associated with metallic materials, but have recently been reported in insulators which display coupled magnetic and structural order parameters. We discuss one such example, the multi
ferroic Cu$_3$Nb$_2$O$_8$, which is reported to undergo two magnetic phase transitions, first to a spin density wave phase at $T_N approx 26.5K$, and then to a helicoidal structure coupled to an electric polarization below $T_2 approx 24K$ [R. D. Johnson, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 107, 137205 (2011)] which breaks the crystallographic inversion symmetry. We apply spherical polarimetry to confirm the low-temperature magnetic structure, yet only observe a single magnetic phase transition to helicoidal order. We argue that the reported spin density wave originates from a decoupling of the components of the magnetic order parameter, as allowed by symmetry and driven by thermal fluctuations. This provides a mechanism for the magnetic, but not nuclear, structure to break inversion symmetry thereby creating an intermediate phase where the structure imitates a spin density wave. As the temperature is reduced, this intermediate structure destabilizes the crystal such that a structural chirality is induced, as reflected by the emergence of the electric polarization, and the imitation spin density wave relaxes into a generic helicoid. This provides a situation where the magnetic structure breaks inversion symmetry while the crystal structure remains centrosymmetric.
A recent experiment on the multiferroic BiMn$_2$O$_5$ compound under a strong applied magnetic field revealed a rich phase diagram driven by the coupling of magnetic and charge (dipolar) degrees of freedom. Based on the exchange-striction mechanism,
we propose here a theoretical model with the intent to capture the interplay of the spin and dipolar moments in the presence of a magnetic field in BiMn$_2$O$_5$. Experimentally observed behavior of the dielectric constants, magnetic susceptibility, and the polarization is, for the most part, reproduced by our model. The critical behavior observed near the polarization reversal $(P=0)$ point in the phase diagram is interpreted as arising from the proximity to the critical end point.
