Abstract
The ground state of a microcavity polariton Bose-Einstein condensate is determined by considering experimentally tunable parameters such as excitation density and detuning. During a change in the ground state of Bose-Einstein condensate from excitonic to photonic, which occurs as the excitation density is increased, the origin of the binding force of electron-hole pairs changes from Coulomb to photon-mediated interactions. The change in the origin gives rise to the strongly bound pairs with a small radius, like Frenkel excitons, in the photonic regime. The phase diagram obtained provides valuable information that can be used to build theoretical models for each regime.Year: 2010 PMID: 20867938 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.056401
