Bose-Einstein condensation of polaritons in graphene in a high magnetic field

Abstract

The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnetoexcitonic polaritons in a graphene layer embedded in a optical microcavity in a high magnetic field $B$ is predicted. The essential property of this system (in contrast, e.g., to a quantum well embedded in a cavity) is stronger influence of magnetic field and weaker influence of disorder. A two-dimensional (2D) magnetoexcitonic polaritons gas is considered in a planar harmonic electric field potential applied to excitons or a parabolic shape of the optical cavity causing the trapping of microcavity photons. It is shown that the effective polariton mass $M_{\rm eff}$ increases with magnetic field as $B^{1/2}$. The BEC critical temperature $T_{c}^{(0)}$ decreases as $B^{-1/4}$ and increases with the spring constant of the parabolic trap. The Rabi splitting related to the creation of a magnetoexciton in a high magnetic field in graphene is obtained.
