The Hamiltonian of the dilute gas of magnetoexcitons with dipole-dipole repulsion in a random field has been reduced to the Hamiltonian of a dilute gas of dipolar excitons without an applied magnetic field, but in an $H$-dependent effective random field and having an effective mass of magnetoexciton which is a function of the magnetic field and parameters of the CQW. For 2D magnetoexcitonic systems, the increase of the magnetic field $H$ and the interwell distance $D$ is found to increase the effective renormalized random field parameter $Q$ and suppress the superfluid density $n_s$ and the temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition $T_c$. It is shown that in the presence of the disorder there is a quantum transition to the superfluid state at zero temperature T=0 with respect to the magnetic field $H$ and the parameters of the disorder. There is no superfluidity at any exciton density in the presence of the disorder at sufficiently large magnetic field $H$ or sufficiently large disorder.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-08-26T17:43:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high magnetic field", "coupled quantum wells", "indirect magnetoexcitons", "phase transitions", "renormalized random field parameter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..8581B" } } }
