Time-Resolved 1s-2p Absorption Imaging of Quantum Degenerate 1s Paraexcitons in Cuprous Oxide at Sub-Kelvin Temperatures |
| 要旨(英語) |
In 2022, a Bose-Einstein condensate of 1s paraexcitons in bulk cuprous oxide (Cu2O) was directly observed [1] via mid-infrared absorption imaging [2]. However, the condensate fraction reached only 0.016, a value significantly smaller than the maximum of 1 achievable in an ideal Bose gas. This remarkably small condensate fraction cannot be explained by conventional theories and is considered to be a characteristic feature of condensates formed in a non-equilibrium open system.
In order to elucidate this new type of Bose-Einstein condensation, we performed time-resolved absorption imaging and observed the formation and decay dynamics of the condensate. The experiment was conducted under quasi-steady-state conditions achieved with 606.1 nm excitation. For this purpose, we built a setup capable of chopping a 9.85 μm continuous-wave laser into probe pulses with a duration of 40 ns. In this presentation, I will report on the time evolution of the density and spatial extent of the condensate.
