Generation of ultracold paraexcitons in cuprous oxide: A path toward a stable Bose-Einstein condensate

K Yoshioka, Y Morita, K Fukuoka, M Kuwata-Gonokami - Physical Review B, 2013 - APS
Cooling of a gas of trapped paraexcitons in Cu 2 O to 100 mK, close to the lattice
temperature, is reported. We show that the activation of a transverse acoustic scattering …

Unexpectedly slow two particle decay of ultra-dense excitons in cuprous oxide

NL Frazer, RD Schaller, JB Ketterson - Solid state communications, 2013 - Elsevier
For an ultra-dense exciton gas in cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O), exciton–exciton interactions are
the dominant cause of exciton decay. This study demonstrates that the accepted Auger …

Dynamics of vortices and dark solitons in polariton superfluids

B Deveaud, G Nardin, G Grosso, Y Léger - … : New Trends and Hot Topics in …, 2013 - Springer
In this chapter we describe some observations linked with turbulence in quantum fluids of
polaritons. We imprint a given velocity and density to the polariton fluid by using an …
