Abstract:
The collective properties of different quasiparticles in various graphene-based structures in a high magnetic field have been studied. We predict Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and the superfluidity of 2D spatially indirect magnetoexcitons in a two-layer graphene. The superfluid density and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition are shown to be increasing functions of the excitonic density but decreasing functions of a magnetic field and the interlayer separation. The instability of the ground state of the interacting 2D indirect magnetoexcitons in a slab of superlattice with alternating electron and hole graphene layers (GLs) is established. The stable system of indirect 2D magnetobiexcitons, consisting of a pair of indirect excitons with antiparallel dipole moments, is considered in a graphene superlattice. The superfluid density and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition for magnetobiexcitons in a graphene superlattice are obtained. Moreover, the BEC of excitonic polaritons in a GL embedded in a semiconductor microcavity in a high magnetic field is predicted. While the superfluid phase in this magnetoexciton polariton system is absent due to a vanishing magnetoexciton-magnetoexciton interaction in a single layer in the limit of a high magnetic field, the critical temperature of the BEC formation is calculated. The observation of the BEC and superfluidity of 2D quasiparticles in graphene in a high magnetic field would be interesting confirmation of the phenomena we have described.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...
