Ultrarelativistic electron-hole pairing in graphene bilayer

We consider ground state of electron-hole graphene bilayer composed of two independently doped graphene layers when a condensate of spatially separated electron-hole pairs is formed. In the weak coupling regime the pairing affects only conduction band of electron-doped layer and valence band of hole-doped layer, thus the ground state is similar to ordinary BCS condensate. At strong coupling, an ultrarelativistic character of electron dynamics reveals and the bands which are remote from Fermi surfaces (valence band of electron-doped layer and conduction band of hole-doped layer) are also affected by the pairing. The analysis of instability of unpaired state shows that s-wave pairing with band-diagonal condensate structure, described by two gaps, is preferable. A relative phase of the gaps is fixed, however at weak coupling this fixation diminishes allowing gapped and soliton-like excitations. The coupled self-consistent gap equations for these two gaps are solved at zero temperature in the constant-gap approximation and in the approximation of separable potential. It is shown that, if characteristic width of the pairing region is of the order of magnitude of chemical potential, then the value of the gap in the spectrum is not much different from the BCS estimation. However, if the pairing region is wider, then the gap value can be much larger and depends exponentially on its energy width.Comment: 13 pages with 8 figures; accepted to Eur. Phys. J.

Investigation of the Possibility of Preparing the Lower Double Molybdate NaSmMo(2)O(7)

The synthesis of a lower double molybdate from Na(2)Mo(2)O(7) and Sm(2)Mo(2)O(7) is studied by the methods of physicochemical analysis (X-ray diffraction, DTA, IR spectroscopy, crystal optics). The possibility in principle of preparing the molybdate is shown. Some of its physicochemical characteristics are studied
