Stationary waves in a superfluid exciton gas in quantum Hall bilayers

Stationary waves in a superfluid magnetoexciton gas in nu = 1 quantum Hall bilayers are considered. The waves are induced by counter-propagating electrical currents that flow in a system with a point obstacle. It is shown that stationary waves can emerge only in imbalanced bilayers in a certain diapason of currents. It is found that the stationary wave pattern is modified qualitatively under a variation of the ratio of the interlayer distance to the magnetic length d/l. The advantages of use graphene-dielectric-graphene sandwiches for the observation of stationary waves are discussed. We determine the range of parameters (the dielectric constant of the layer that separates two graphene layers and the ratio d/l) for which the state with superfluid magnetoexcitons can be realized in such sandwiches. Typical stationary wave patterns are presented as density plots

Locking and unlocking of the counterflow transport in nu=1 quantum Hall bilayers by tilting of magnetic field

The counterflow transport in quantum Hall bilayers provided by superfluid excitons is locked at small input currents due to a complete leakage caused by the interlayer tunneling. We show that the counterflow critical current I_c^{CF} above which the system unlocks for the counterflow transport can be controlled by a tilt of magnetic field in the plane perpendicular to the current direction. The effect is asymmetric with respect to the tilting angle. The unlocking is accompanied by switching of the systems from the d.c. to the a.c. Josephson state. Similar switching takes place for the tunneling set-up when the current flowing through the system exceeds the critical value I_c^T. At zero tilt the relation between the tunnel and counterflow critical currents is I_c^T=2 I_c^{CF}. We compare the influence of the in-plane magnetic field component B_\parallel on the critical currents I_c^{CF} and I_c^T. The in-plane magnetic field reduces the tunnel critical current and this reduction is symmetric with respect to the tilting angle. It is shown that the difference between I_c^{CF} and I_c^T is essential at field |B_\parallel|\lesssim ϕ_0/d λ_J, where ϕ_0 is the flux quantum, d is the interlayer distance, and λ_J is the Josephson length. At larger B_\parallel the critical currents I_c^{CF} and I_c^T almost coincide each other.

Transport properties of ν=1 quantum Hall bilayers. Phenomenological description

We propose a phenomenological model that describes counterflow and drag experiments with quantum Hall bilayers in a ν_T=1 state. We consider the system consisting of statistically distributed areas with local total filling factors ν_{T1}>1 and ν_{T2}<1. The excess or deficit of electrons in a given area results in an appearance of vortex excitations. The vortices in quantum Hall bilayers are charged. They are responsible for a decay of the exciton supercurrent, and, at the same time, contribute to the conductivity directly. The experimental temperature dependence of the counterflow and drive resistivities is described under accounting viscous forces applied to vortices that are the exponentially increase functions of the inverse temperature. The presence of defect areas where the interlayer phase coherence is destroyed completely can result in an essential negative longitudinal drag resistivity as well as in a counterflow Hall resistivity.

Superconductivity of electron-hole pairs in a bilayer graphene system in a quantizing magnetic field

The state with a spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in a graphene based bilayer quantum Hall system is studied. This state can be considered as a gas of superfluid electron-hole pairs with the components of the pair belonging to different layers. Superfluid flux of such pairs is equivalent to two electrical supercurrents in the layers. It is shown that the state with the interlayer phase coherence emerges in the graphene system if a certain imbalance of the Landau level filling factors of the layers is created. We obtain the temperature of transition into the superfluid state, the maximum interlayer distance at which the phase coherence is possible, and the critical values of the supercurrent. The advantages of use of graphene systems instead of GaAs heterostructures for the realization of the bilayer electron-hole superconductivity is discussed.

Relaxation of superflow in a network: an application to the dislocation model of supersolidity of helium crystals

We have considered the dislocation network model for the supersolid state in He-4 crystals. In difference with uniform 2D and 3D systems, the temperature of superfluid transition T_c in the network is much smaller than the degeneracy temperature T_d. It is shown that a crossover into a quasi superfluid state occurs in the temperature interval between T_c and T_d. Below the crossover temperature the time of decay of the flow increases exponentially under decrease of the temperature. The crossover has a continuous character and the crossover temperature does not depend on the density of dislocations.

Superfluid state of magnetoexcitons in double layer graphene structures

The possibility of realization of a superfluid state of bound electron-hole pairs (magnetoexcitons) with spatially separated components in a graphene double layer structure (two graphene layers separated by a dielectric layer) subjected by a strong perpendicular to the layers magnetic field is analyzed. We show that the superfluid state of magnetoexcitons may emerge only under certain imbalance of filling factors of the layers. The imbalance can be created by an electrostatic field (external gate voltage). The spectrum of elementary excitations is found and the dependence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature on the interlayer distance is obtained. The advantages of use graphene double layer systems instead of double quantum well GaAs heterostructures are discussed.

Josephson vortex motion as a source for dissipation of superflow of e-h pairs in bilayers

IIt is shown that in a bilayer excitonic superconductor dissipative losses emerge under transmission of the current from the source to the load. These losses are proportional to the square of the interlayer tunneling amplitude and independent on the value of the input current. The case of quantum Hall bilayer is considered. The bilayer may work as a transmission line if the input current exceeds certain critical value. The input current higher than critical one induces Josephson vortices in the bilayer. The difference of electrochemical potentials is required to feed the load and it forces Josephson vortices to move. The state becomes non-stationary that leads to dissipation.

Stationary waves in a supersonic flow of a two-component Bose gas

A stationary wave pattern occurring in a flow of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle is studied. We consider the general case of unequal velocities of two superfluid components. The Landau criterium applied to the two-component system determines a certain region in the velocity space in which superfluidity may take place. Stationary waves arise out of this region, but under the additional condition that the relative velocity of the components does not exceed some critical value. Under increase of the relative velocity the spectrum of the excitations becomes complex valued and the stationary wave pattern is broken. In case of equal velocities two sets of stationary waves that correspond to the lower and the upper Bogolyubov mode can arise. If one component flows and the other is at rest only one set of waves may emerge. Two or even three interfere sets of waves may arise if the velocities approximately of equal value and the angle between the velocities is close to pi/2. In two latter cases the stationary waves correspond to the lower mode and the densities of the components oscillate out-of-phase. The ratio of amplitudes of the components in the stationary waves is computed. This quantity depends on the relative velocity, is different for different sets of waves, and varies along the crests of the waves. For the cases where two or three waves interfere the density images are obtained.

Critical currents and giant non-dissipative drag for superfluid electron-hole pairs in quantum Hall multilayers

Superfluid properties of electron-hole pairs in a quantum Hall four-layer system are investigated. The system is considered as a solid state realization of a two-component superfluid Bose gas with dipole-dipole interaction. One superfluid component is formed in the top bilayer and the other component - in the bottom one. We obtain the dispersion equation for the collective mode spectrum and compute the critical parameters (the critical interlayer distance and the critical currents) versus the filling factor. We find that the critical currents of the components depend on each other. The maximum critical current of a given component can be reached if the current of the other component is equal to zero. The non-dissipative drag effect between the components is studied. It is shown that in the system considered the drag factor is very large. Under appropriate conditions it can be about 10 per sent, that is at least in three order larder than one predicted for two-component atomic Bose gases.

Critical velocities in two-component superfluid Bose gases

On the ground of the Landau criterion we study the behavior of critical velocities in a superfluid two-component Bose gas. It is found that under motion of the components with different velocities the velocity of each component should not be lower than a minimum phase velocity of elementary excitations (s_). The Landau criterion yields a relation between the critical velocities of the components (v_{c1}, v_{c2}). The velocity of one or even both components may exceed s_. The maximum value of the critical velocity of a given component can be reached when the other component does not move. The approach is generalized for a two-component condensate confined in a cylindrical harmonic potential. PACS numbers: 03.75.Kk,03.75.Mn

Bose-Einstein condensation in a decorated lattice: an application to supersolid

The Bose-Einstein condensation of vacancies in a three-dimensional decorated lattice is considered. The model describes possible scenario of superfluidity of solid helium, caused by the presence of zero-point vacancies in a dislocation network. It is shown that the temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation decreases under increase of the length of the segments of the network, and the law of decrease depends essentially on the properties of the vertexes of the network. If the vertexes correspond to barriers with a small transparency, the critical temperature is inversely as the square of the length of the segment. On the contrary, if the vertexes correspond to traps for the vacancies (it is energetically preferable for the vacancies to localize at the vertexes), an exponential lowering of the temperature of transition takes place. The highest temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation is reached in the intermediate case of vertexes with large transparency, but in the absence of tendency of localization in them. In the latter case the critical temperature is inversely as the length of the segment.

Pinning in nonmagnetic borocarbides

The field dependences of the Labush parameter in nonmagnetic borocarbides are measured by a method that does not require achieving a critical state. The expected values of the critical current are estimated. The values obtained are two order of magnitude greater than the results of "direct" measurements performed on the basis of transport (magnetic) experiments. A giant peak effect, which the collective pinning model describes quantitavely well, is observed in the field dependences of the Labush parameter in Y-based borocarbides.

Magnus force and acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect in type II superconductors

At zero magnetic field we have observed an electromagnetic radiation from superconductors subjected by a transverse elastic wave. This radiation has an inertial origin, and is a manifestation of the acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect. The effect is used for implementing a method of measurement of an effective Magnus force in type II superconductors. The method does not require the flux flow regime and allows to investigate this force for almost the whole range of the existence of the mixed state. We have studied behavior of the gyroscopic force in nonmagnetic borocarbides and Nb. It is found that in borocarbides the sign of the gyroscopic force in the mixed state is the same as in the normal state, and its value (counted for one vortex of unit length) has only a weak dependence on the magnetic field. In Nb the change of sign of the gyroscopic force under the transition from the normal to the mixed state is observed.

Non-dissipative drag of superflow in a two-component Bose gas

A microscopic theory of a non-dissipative drag in a two-component superfluid Bose gas is developed. The expression for the drag current in the system with the components of different atomic masses, densities and scattering lengths is derived. It is shown that the drag current is proportional to the square root of the gas parameter. The temperature dependence of the drag current is studied and it is shown that at temperature of order or smaller than the interaction energy the temperature reduction of the drag current is rather small. A possible way of measuring the drag factor is proposed. A toroidal system with the drag component confined in two half-ring wells separated by two Josephson barriers is considered. Under certain condition such a system can be treated as a Bose-Einstein counterpart of the Josephson charge qubit in an external magnetic field. It is shown that the measurement of the difference of number of atoms in two wells under a controlled evolution of the state of the qubit allows to determine the drag factor.

Surface pinning in amorphous ZrTiCuNiBe alloy

We have measured the amplitude and the phase of an electromagnetic (EM) field radiated from superconductor (amorphous ZrTiCuNiBe alloy) in the mixed state due to interaction of the flux lattice with an elastic wave. The results undoubtedly point to an essential contribution of a surface pinning into the flux lattice dynamics. We propose a model that describes radiation of EM field from superconductors with non-uniform pinning. The model allows to reconstruct the viscosity and the Labush parameters from the experimental data. The behavior of the Labush parameter can be qualitatively explained in terms of the collective pinning theory with the allowance of thermal fluctuations.

Drag of superfluid current in bilayer Bose systems

An effect of nondissipative drag of a superfluid flow in a system of two Bose gases confined in two parallel quasi two-dimensional traps is studied. Using an approach based on introduction of density and phase operators we compute the drag current at zero and finite temperatures for arbitrary ratio of densities of the particles in the adjacent layers. We demonstrate that in a system of two ring-shape traps the "drag force" influences on the drag trap in the same way as an external magnetic flux influences on a superconducting ring. It allows to use the drag effect to control persistent current states in superfluids and opens a possibility for implementing a Bose analog of the superconducting Josephson flux qubit.

Charge ordering and interlayer phase coherence in quantum Hall superlattices

The possibility of the existence of states with a spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in multilayer electron systems in a high perpendicular to the layers magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that phase coherence can be established in such systems only within individual pairs of adjacent layers, while such coherence does not exist between layers of different pairs. The conditions for stability of the state with interlayer phase coherence against transition to a charge-ordered state are determined. It is shown that in the system with the number of layers N\leq 10 these conditions are satisfied at any value of the interlayer distance d. For N>10 there are two intervals of stability: at sufficiently large and at sufficiently small d. For N\to \infty the stability interval in the region of small d vanishes

Piezoelectric mechanism for the orientational pinning of bilayer Wigner crystals and stripes in a GaAs matrix

We investigate the phonon mechanism for the orientational pinning of Wigner crystals and stripes in two-dimensional electron layers in GaAs matrices. We find the orientation of bilayer Wigner crystals on the (001), (111), (0-11) and (311) interfaces versus the interlayer distance and determine the regions of parameters, where polydomain structures can emerge. For the stripe states in electron layers situated close to the (001) surface we show that the interference between the piezoelectric and deformation potential interaction may be responsible for the preferable orientation of the stripes along the [110] direction. For the bilayer system on the (001) interfaces we predict the suppression of the resistance anisotropy.
