Exact-diagonalization study of exciton condensation in electron bilayers    [PDF]

T. Kaneko, S. Ejima, H. Fehske, Y. Ohta
We report on small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations which prove the formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) and suggest a spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in bilayer systems described by the extended Falicov-Kimball model. Evaluating the anomalous Green's function and momentum distribution function of the pairs, and thereby analyzing the dependence of the exciton binding energy, condensation amplitude, and coherence length on the Coulomb interaction strength, we demonstrate a crossover between a BCS-like electron-hole pairing transition and a Bose-Einstein condensation of tightly bound preformed excitons. We furthermore show that a mass imbalance between electrons and holes tends to suppress the condensation of excitons.
