Induced coherent macroscopic states of excitons and biexcitons in a microcavity-embedded Zn1−xCdxSe-type quantum well

Abstract

The conditions of induced and spontaneous Kosterlitz–Thouless-type Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of excitons and biexcitons in a microcavity-embedded quantum well are discussed. As an example the Zn1−xCdxSe/ZnSe quantum well is considered, where the HH-exciton electronic structure consisting of four types of excitons – E(x), E(y), A1, A2 is taken into account.
