Striped excitonic (super)solid in anisotropic semiconductors with screened exciton interactions
arXiv:2506.19685 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.L180506
Abstract
Within the Gross-Pitaevskii framework, we reveal the emergence of a crystallized phase of an exciton condensate in an atomically-thin anisotropic semiconductor, where screening of exciton-exciton interactions is introduced by a proximal doped graphene layer. While such screened interactions are expected to yield a hexagonal crystal lattice in the excitonic condensate in isotropic semiconductor quantum wells [see e.g. Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{108}, 060401 (2012)], here we show that for atomically thin semiconductors with strong electronic anisotropy, such as few-layer black phosphorus, the crystallized exciton phase acquires a parallel stripe structure - unanticipated to date. The optimal conditions for the emergence of this phase, as well as for its coexistence with excitonic superfluidity in a striped supersolid phase, are identified.
