Control of exciton fluxes

ORAL

Abstract

We present proof of principle for control of excitonic fluxes by gate in mesoscopic devices. Since excitons are bosonic particles, control of exciton fluxes can extend mesoscopics, the field which electron transport in potential reliefs, to bosons. Also, as are coupled to light, the control of exciton fluxes may lead to development of new optoelectronic devices. The demonstrated devices as a directional switch, star switch, and flux merger.
