Optically induced hybrid Bose-Fermi system in quantum wells with different charge carriers

Abstract

It is demonstrated theoretically that the circularly polarized irradiation of two-dimensional conducting systems can produce the composite bosons consisting of two electrons with different effective masses (different charge carriers), which are stable due to the Fermi sea of conduction electrons. As a result, the optically induced mixture of paired electrons and normal conduction electrons (the hybrid Bose-Fermi system) appears. Elementary excitations in such a hybrid system are analyzed and possible manifestations of the light-induced electron pairing are discussed for semiconductor quantum wells.
