Exciton and fermion-pair condensation at non-zero temperature

Abstract

(2)-symmetry interaction in the particle-particle and particle-hole channels is carried out. Using the symmetry of the system, its free energy and phase diagram are calculated. It is demonstrated that the superconducting (particle-particle) and excitonic (particle-hole) condensates are both formed in the considered system which undergoes two phase transitions. The calculated phase diagram represents qualitatively the phase diagram typical for materials with the high-temperature superconducting properties, including the existence of two phase transitions, the first and second order phase transitions, triple and tricritical points.

Exciton Mott Transition and Pair Condensation in Electron-Hole Systems: Dynamical Mean-Field Theory

Yuh Tomio, Tetsuo Ogawa

The exciton Mott transition and electron‐hole (e‐h) pair condensation are studied using a two‐band Hubbard model with both repulsion and attraction. With the use of the dynamical mean‐field theory, we clarify the phase diagram for the phase transitions at zero and finite temperatures. Away from half‐filling we find an exciton insulating phase, which is followed by the formation of incoherent e‐h pairs, and the first‐order transition between a metallic phase and the exciton insulating phase. We also examine the transition temperature to an e‐h pair condensed phase where BEC‐BCS crossover takes place, and discuss characteristic features of the finite‐temperature phase diagram.

Pair condensation in polarized fermion systems

Yun-Pil Shim

In this thesis we study the spin or pseudospin singlet pair condensation of two different kinds of polarized fermion systems.Using generalized BCS mean-field theories we study how pairing adapts to unequal spin or pseudospin populations.After briefly reviewing the basic physics of superconductivity in Chapter 2, in Chapter 3 the mean-field theory for electron-hole bilayer systems is derived to describe the condensation of excitons which is analogous to the Cooper pair condensation in superconductors.Self-consistent solution of the exciton system gap equation shows that the excitation energy spectrum is qualitatively the same as in superconductors.In Chapter 4 the role of the spin degree of freedom in the bilayer system is investigated by generalizing the two-component mean-field theory developed in Chapter vi 3 to four-component cases.The main consequence is that population polarization leads to ferromagnetism.The interplay between exciton condensation and spontaneous spin-order is the most important consequence of the presence of both spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom in excitonic condensates.In a sense that we explain in this Chapter, both normal and condensed fluids are present in the ferromagnetic excitonic state.Using the Rashba spin-orbit interaction model derived in the appendix, we show that an external electric field can alter the characteristics of the ferromagnetic condensate phase.The spin splitting by the spin-orbit interaction and its different spin state structures lead to qualitatively different magnetic properties for electron and hole layers.In Chapter 5 we turn our attention to a second class of polarized fermion systems that is of great current interest.A fully quantum mechanical treatment of a rotating fermion atom cloud is developed and implicit equations determining the critical temperatures for all center-of-mass Landau level pairings are obtained.In Chapter 6 the condition for the realization of higher center-of-mass Landau level pairing, which corresponds to FFLO state in spin split superconductors, is determined by calculating the critical temperatures for all possible pairing channels.It is shown that FFLO states can be realized in the strong interaction and low rotation frequency regimes in parameter space, where the pairing energy can survive the high polarization.

Quantum phase transitions in a model Hamiltonian exhibiting entangled simultaneous fermion-pair and exciton condensations

Samuel Warren, LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, David A. Mazziotti

Quantum states of a novel Bose-Einstein condensate, in which both fermion-pair and exciton condensations are simultaneously present, have recently been realized theoretically in a model Hamiltonian system. Here we identify quantum phase transitions in that model between fermion-pair and exciton condensations based on a geometric analysis of the convex set of ground-state two-particle reduced density matrices (2-RDMs). The 2-RDM set provides a finite representation of the infinite parameter space of Hamiltonians that readily reveals a fermion-pair condensate phase and two distinct exciton condensate phases, as well as the emergence of first- and second-order phase transitions as the particle number of the system is increased. The set, furthermore, shows that the fermion-exciton condensate (FEC) lies along the second-order phase transition between the exciton and fermion-pair condensate phases. The detailed information about the exciton and fermion-pair phases, the forces behind these phases, as well as their associated transitions provides additional insight into the formation of the FEC condensate, which we anticipate will prove useful in its experimental realization.

Phase diagram of microcavity exciton-polariton condensates

Dinh-Hoi Bui, Van-Nham Phan

In this work, we study the exciton-polariton condensate phase transition in a microcavity matter-light system in which electron-hole Coulomb interaction and matter-light coupling effects are treated on an equal footing. In the framework of the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation applying the two-dimensional exciton-polariton model, we derive the self-consistent equations determining simultaneously the excitonic and the photonic condenstate order parameters. In the thermal-equilibrium limit, we find a condensed state of the exciton-polariton systems and phase diagrams are then constructed. At a given low temperature, the condensate by its nature shows a crossover from an excitonic to a polaritonic and finally photonic condensed state as the excitation density increases at large detuning. Without the detuning, the excitonic condensed state disappears whereas the polaritonic or photonic phases dominate. The crossover is also found by lowering the Coulomb interaction at a finite matter-light coupling. Lowering the Coulomb interaction or increasing the temperature, the excitonic Mott transition occurs, at which the exciton-polariton condensates dissociate to free electron-hole/photon. Depending on temperature and excitation density, the phase transition of the exciton-polariton condensates is also addressed in signatures of photoluminescence mapping to the photonic momentum distribution.

Phase Diagram of a Superconducting and Antiferromagnetic System with SO(5) Symmetry

Xiao Hu, Tomio Koyama, Masashi Tachiki

Temperature vs chemical-potential phase diagrams of an SO(5) model for high- ${T}_{c}$ cuprates are calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. There is a bicritical point where the second-order antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity transition lines merge tangentially into a first-order line, and the SO(5) symmetry is achieved. In an external magnetic field, the AF ordering is first order in the region near the cross point of the AF transition line and the first-order melting line of flux lattice; there is a tricritical point on the AF transition line from which the AF ordering becomes second order.

Superconductivity and superfluidity

T. Tsuneto

A system composed of particles, whose quantum mechanical zero point energy is large compared to their interaction energy, does not solidify even at absolute zero temperature and remains a so-called quantum liquid. Typical examples of such systems are conduction electrons in metals and liquid helium. Many conductors undergo a phase transition at their critical temperature T c and become superconducting below it. Similarly, liquid 4 He under its vapour pressure becomes a superfluid at T c = 2.17 K ( T λ is often used instead of T c ), and liquid 3 He at T c = 0.9 mK. Although the phenomena are called superconductivity for a charged system like conduction electrons, and superfluidity for a neutral system like liquid helium, they are characterised by the same basic property that the wave nature of the particles manifests itself on a macroscopic scale, as we shall see below. Phenomena The most important factor in determining the properties of a quantum liquid is the statistics of the constituent particles. Liquid 3 He becomes a typical Fermi liquid below 0.1 K and a superfluid below a few mK, in contrast with the bosonic liquid 4 He mentioned above. The two superfluids are quite different both phenomenologically and microscopically. Table 1.1 shows systems which exhibit, or are predicted to exhibit (in brackets), superconductivity or superfluidity. In the case of fermion systems pair formation is responsible for the phenomena so that their properties differ according to the pairing type.
