A giant built-in electric field in the growth direction makes excitons in wide GaN/(Al, Ga)N quantum wells spatially indirect even in the absence of any external bias. Significant densities of indirect excitons can accumulate in…
Exciton condensation--an interaction-driven, macroscopically coherent paired-fermion state--offers the prospect for dissipationless energy transport in solids, akin to that in superconductivity. Although their light effective mass and…
Full control of excitons in 2D materials is an important step to exploit them for applications. Straintronics is one method that can be used to effectively control the movement of excitons. Unfortunately, the effects of non-uniform strain…
