Excitons in semiconductors are usually non interacting and behave like an ideal gas, but may condense to a strongly correlated liquid like state, i.e. electron hole liquid (EHL), at high density and appropriate temperature. EHL is a…

Extensive theoretical and experimental investigation has been conducted on fermion pair condensation and exciton condensation as distinct classes of Bose-Einstein-like condensation. In this work, the existence of a fermion-exciton…

A Bose-Einstein condensate is the ground state of a dilute gas of bosons, such as atoms cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. With much smaller mass, excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) are expected to condense at significantly…
