ABSTRACT
The Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of the two-dimensional magnetoexcitons on the superposition state is studied.
The superposition of two excitonic states formed by electron and hole on the lowest Landau levels (0, 0) and on the first
excited Landau levels (1, 1) was considered. The generalized Bogoliubov u-v transformation was deduced. The criterion
on the exciton concentration was established. The influence of the BEC on the absorption band shape is discussed.
Keywords: Bose-Einstein Condensation, Magnetoexcitons.
1. INTRODUCTION
In the Refs1, 2 the influence of the Coulomb scattering processes of electrons and holes between different Landau levels
on the energy spectrum and on the collective properties of the two-dimensional magnetoexcitons was investigated. It was
shown that the virtual quantum transitions of the Coulomb interacting particles from the lowest Landau levels to excited
Landau levels with arbitrary numbers n and m and their transitions back to the lowest Landau levels in the second order
of the perturbation theory result in the indirect attraction between the particles supplementary to their Coulomb
interaction. These investigations were fulfilled in pure electron-hole description as well as in the excitonic approach,
which permitted to determine the wave function of the lowest magnetoexciton band. The more exact exciton wave
function as well as the exciton creation operator were represented in the superposition form composed by the wave
function and creation operators of the bare exciton states. The existence of the ground state superposition state will
influence on the character of the megnetoexciton BEC, changing the distribution of the particles no the lowest and
excited Landau levels. The BEC of magnetoexcitons influences on their absorbtion band shape. To this end we will study
below the band shape of the combined optical quantum transitions involving the creation of one magnetoexciton and the
simultaneous excitation of an electron from the lower to upper Landau levels. The experimental results in this direction
were published in the papers[3, 4, 5]. Both aspects of the magnetoexciton physics are strongly correlated with the
knowledge concerning the influence of the excited Landau levels accumulated in the frame of two earlier published
papers[1, 2].
The paper is organized as follows. In the section 2 the BEC of magnetoexcitons in the superposition state is studied. In
section 3 the absorbtion band shape for the combined quantum transition with the creation of an magnetoexciton and the
simultaneous excitation of an electron from the lower to upper Landau levels is deduced. The influence of the BEC of
magnetoexcitons on the band shape is discussed. The conclusions form the section 4.

Following the papers [1, 2] the main contribution in the ground state superposition state is due to two states. One of them
is (0, 0) state with n=m=0 and another one is (1, 1) state, which corresponds to the values n=m=1. There are also another
two involved states (1, 0) and (0, 1), but their contributions are considerable smaller and here they were neglected.
In such a way in the frame of this two-level model the magnetoexciton creation operator has the form [1, 2, 6]

superposition state with the electrons and holes residing in the both LLLs and first excited Landau levels [FELLs].
The BEC of magnetoexcitons will influence on their optical absorption band shape and could be evidenced as its
supplementary structure. This influence will be discussed below. As an example, the combined optical quantum
transition with the creation of one magnetoexciton accompanied by the excitation of one electron from the lower to upper
Landau level will be considered.
3. COMBINED MAGNETOEXCITON – ELECTRON QUANTUM TRANSITIONS.
The combined magnetoexciton – electron quantum transitions will be calculated in the second order of the perturbation
theory. The Hamiltonians of the electron-radiation and electron-electron (e-e) Coulomb interactions are listed below.

A combined exciton-cyclotron resonance is found in photoluminescence excitation and reflectivity spectra of semiconductor quantum wells containing an electron gas of low density. In external magnetic fields, an incident photon creates an exciton in the ground state and simultaneously excites one of the resident electrons from the lowest to one of the upper Landau levels. A theoretical model is developed, which gives a good quantitative description of the energy position and the intensity of the combined exciton-cyclotron resonance.

The coherent pairing of electrons and holes occupying only the lowest Landau level in a two-dimensional (2D) system with a strong perpendicular magnetic field is studied using the Keldysh-Kozlov-Kopaev method and generalized random phase approximation. Bose-Einstein condensation of the correlated pairs takes place in a single particle state with an arbitrary wave vector k in a symmetric 2D model. We show that the ground state energy per exciton and the chemical potential are nonmonotonic functions of the filling factor, so that metastable dielectric liquid states with positive compressibility exist, consisting of Bose-Einstein condensate of magnetoexcitons. It is shown that this dielectric liquid phase of the Bose condensed excitons is more stable than the metallic electron-hole liquid phase. The polarizability of the Bose-condensed magnetoexcitons is calculated using Anderson-type wave functions of the coherent excited states, which correspond to the appearance of one out-of-condensate electron-hole (e-h) pair in the presence of the BCS-type ground state. The polarizability is characterized by a coherent factor which depends on k and vanishes when k tends to zero, as well as by a resonance frequency equal to the ionization potential of a magnetoexciton, and differs considerably from the polarizability of a noncondensed exciton gas. The condensate polarizability is used to determine the correlation energy of the system and the correction to the chemical potential beyond the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation.

An optical method is suggested to determine the concentration of two-dimensional electrons in modulation-doped quantum wells at low and moderate electron densities between 10^{9} and 2x10^{11} cm^{-2}. The method is based on an analysis of magneto-reflectivity spectra of charged excitons (trions). The circular polarization degree and the oscillator strength of the charged excitons contain information about the density and spin polarization of two-dimensional electron gas. The method is applied to CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te and ZnSe/Zn,Mg)(S,Se) heterostructures.

In modulation-doped quantum well structures with electron concentration of about 10(11) cm(-2), a new resonant optical transition involving four particles (one hole and three electrons) was found in external magnetic fields in photoluminescence excitation and reflectivity spectra. This transition reveals as a narrow line between exciton and trion lines. It is identified with a combined process in which a photocreated exciton binds with an electron forming a trion and promotes for the second electron a transition to higher Landau levels.

This study is concerned with a two-dimensional electron–hole system in a strong perpendicular magnetic field with special attention devoted to the influence of the virtual quantum transitions of interacting particles between the Landau levels. It is shown that virtual quantum transitions of two Coulomb interacting particles from the lowest Landau levels to excited Landau levels with arbitrary quantum numbers n and m and their transition back to the lowest Landau levels in the second order of the perturbation theory result in indirect attraction between the particles supplementary to their Coulomb interaction. The influence of this indirect interaction on the chemical potential of the Bose–Einstein condensed magnetoexcitons and on the ground state energy of the metallic-type electron–hole liquid (EHL) is investigated in the Hartree–Fock approximation. The supplementary electron–electron and hole–hole interactions being averaged with direct pairing of operators increases the binding energy of magnetoexciton and the energy per pair in the EHL phase. The terms obtained in the exchange pairing of operators give rise to repulsion. Together with the Bogoliubov self-energy terms arising from the electron–hole supplementary interaction they both influence in the favor of BEC of magnetoexcitons with small momentum. The influence of the excited exciton bands on the energy spectrum and on the wave function of the lowest magnetoexciton band is studied in the second order of the perturbation theory. The BEC of magnetoexcitons in the superposition state is considered. The generalized Bogoliubov transformations, the BCS-type ground state wave function and the phase-space filling factors of the lowest and first excited Landau levels are determined.

The study of the quantum states of a two-dimensional electron–hole system in a strong perpendicular magnetic field is carried out with special attention to the influence of virtual quantum transitions of interacting particles between the Landau levels. These virtual quantum transitions from the lowest Landau levels to excited Landau levels with arbitrary quantum numbers n and m and their reversion to the lowest Landau levels in second order perturbation theory result in an indirect attraction between the particles. The influence of the indirect interaction on the magnetoexciton ground state, on the chemical potential of the Bose–Einstein condensed magnetoexcitons, and on the ground state energy of the metallic-type electron–hole liquid is investigated in the Hartree–Fock approximation. The coexistence of different phases is suggested.
