We prove that the predicted charge transfer state in symmetric bilayers of two dimensional electron gases is always unstable at zero bias voltage, due to interlayer correlation and/or tunneling. This is most easily seen by resorting to a…
We consider an Abelian BF-Higgs theory with Nf=2 Higgs fields in 1+1 dimensions. We derive a new BPS-like bound and find topological solitons with tri-charges (topological charge, Q-charge and electric charge). We call them "trions."
We use a path integral quantum Monte Carlo method to simulate excitons and biexcitons in core shell nanocrystals with Type-I, II and quasi-Type II band alignments. Quantum Monte Carlo techniques allow for all quantum correlations to be…

The condensation of excitons, bound electron-hole pairs in a solid, into a coherent collective electronic state was predicted over 50 years ago. Perhaps surprisingly, the phenomenon was first observed in a system consisting of two…
Coulomb drag experiments in which the inter-layer resistivity is measured are important as they provide information on the Coulomb interactions in bilayer systems. When the layer densities are low correlation effects become significant to…
Distinguishing an exciton condensate from an excitonic gas or insulator remains a fundamental challenge, as both phases feature bound electron-hole pairs but differ only by the emergence of macroscopic phase coherence. Here, we…
