Supersolidity in electron-hole bilayers with a large density imbalance

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider an electron-hole bilayer in the limit of extreme density imbalance, where we have a single particle in one layer interacting attractively with a Fermi liquid in the other parallel layer. Using an appropriate variational wave function for the dressed exciton, we provide strong evidence for the existence of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase in electron-hole bilayers with a large density imbalance. Furthermore, within this unusual limit of FFLO, we find that a dilute gas of minority particles forms excitons that condense into a two-dimensional "supersolid".
