Phonon-mediated Josephson oscillations in excitonic and polaritonic condensates
arXiv:1007.2890 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.82.195312
Abstract
We analyze theoretically the role of the exciton-phonon interactions in phenomena related to the Josephson effect between two spatially separated exciton and exciton-polariton condensates. We consider the role of the dephasing introduced by phonons in such phenomena as Josephson tunneling, self-trapping and spontaneous polarization separation. In the regime of cw pumping we find a remarkable bistability effect arising from exciton- exciton interactions as well as regimes of self- sustained regular and chaotic oscillations.
