Pattern Formation in the Exciton Inner Ring
arXiv:1304.5246 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.125307
Abstract
We report on the spatially separated pump-probe study of indirect excitons in the inner ring in the exciton emission pattern. A pump laser beam generates the inner ring and a weaker probe laser beam is positioned in the inner ring. The probe beam is found to suppress the exciton emission intensity in the ring. We also report on the inner ring fragmentation and formation of multiple rings in the inner ring region. These features are found to originate from a weak spatial modulation of the excitation beam intensity in the inner ring region. The modulation of exciton emission intensity anti-correlates with the modulation of the laser excitation intensity. The three phenomena - inner ring fragmentation, formation of multiple rings in the inner ring region, and emission suppression by a weak probe laser beam - have a common feature: a reduction of exciton emission intensity in the region of enhanced laser excitation. This effect is explained in terms of exciton transport and thermalization.
