Perfect Coulomb drag in a dipolar excitonic insulator

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Phuong X. Nguyen, Liguo Ma, Raghav Chaturvedi, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Excitonic insulators (EIs), arising in semiconductors when the electron-hole binding energy exceeds the band gap, are a solid-state prototype for bosonic phases of matter. Unlike the charged excitations that are frozen and unable to […]
