We present a method for determining correlations in a gas of indirect excitons in a semiconductor quantum well structure. The method involves subjecting the excitons to a periodic electrostatic potential that causes modulations of the…
Inspired by a recent experiment of localization-delocalization transition (LDT) of indirect excitons in lateral electrostatic lattices [M. Remeika \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{102}, 186803 (2009)], we investigate the interplay…
