Quinn", "Arkadiusz Wojs" ], "comment": "9 pages, 4 figures, invited lecture at SID8, Buffalo (2002)", "categories": [ "cond-mat.mes-hall" ], "abstract": "If the Zeeman energy is small, the lowest energy excitations of a two dimensional electron gas at filling factor nu=1 are spin waves (spin flip excitations). At nu slightly larger (smaller) than unity, reversed spin electrons (spin holes) can form bound states with K spin waves that are known as skyrmions, S_K^- (antiskyrmions, S_K^+). It is suggested in this work that a valence hole can also bind K spin waves to form an excitonic complex X_K^+, analogous to the S_K^+. One spin hole of the S_K^+ is simply replaced by the valence hole. At nu<=1, a small number of S_K^+'s are present before introduction of the valence hole. The (S_K^+)-(X_K^+) repulsion leads to correlations and photoluminescence similar to those of a dilute electron-(charged-exciton) (e-X^-) system at nu<=1/3. At nu>=1, the (S_K^-)-(X_K^+) attraction can potentially lead to different behavior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-06-21T21:09:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin waves", "valence band hole", "quantum hall systems", "novel excitonic states", "bound states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..6413Q" } } }
