Abstract
Motivated by the experiment of electrostatic conveyor belt for indirect excitons (Winbowet al2011Phys. Rev. Lett.106196806), we studied the exciton patterns for understanding the exciton dynamics. By analyzing the exciton diffusion, we found that the patterns mainly came from the photoluminescence of two kinds of excitons. The patterns near the laser spot came from the hot excitons which can be regarded as the classical particles. However, the patterns far from the laser spot come from the cooled or coherent excitons. Considering the finite lifetime of Bosonic excitons and of the interactions between them, we built a time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equation including the non-Hermitian dissipation to describe the coherent exciton dynamics. The real-time and imaginary-time evolutions were used alternately to solve the Schrödinger equation to simulate the exciton diffusion accompanied by the exciton cooling in the moving lattices. By calculating the escape probability, we obtained the transport distances of the coherent excitons in the conveyor, consistent with the experimental data. The cooling speed of excitons was found to be important in coherent exciton transport. Moreover, the plateau in the average transport distance cannot be explained by the dynamical localization-delocalization transition induced by the disorders.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter covers the whole of condensed matter physics including soft condensed matter and nanostructures. Papers may report experimental, theoretical and simulation studies. Note that papers must contain fundamental condensed matter science: papers reporting methods of materials preparation or properties of materials without novel condensed matter content will not be accepted.
