The superfluid phase transition in two-dimensional excitonic systems

We study the superfluid phase transition in the two-dimensional (2D) excitonic system. Employing the extended Falicov-Kimball model (EFKM) and considering the local quantum correlations in the system composed of conduction band electrons and valence band holes we demonstrate the existence of the excitonic insulator (EI) state in the system. We show that at very low temperatures, the particle phase stiffness in the pure-2D excitonic system, governed by the non-local cross correlations, is responsible for the vortex-antivortex binding phase-field state, known as the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) superfluid state. We demonstrate that the existence of excitonic insulator phase is a necessary prerequisite, leading to quasi-long-range order in the 2D excitonic system.
