Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-50533-319-69732-3 Includes bibliographical references.Chap1: Introduction -- Chap2: Controlled exciton transport via a ramp -- Chap3: Controlled exciton transport via an optically controlled exciton transistor -- Chap4: Controlled exciton transport via a Conveyer -- Chap5: Observation of exciton spin transport.This thesis presents results crucial to the emerging field of indirect excitons. These specially designed quasiparticles give the unique opportunity to study fundamental properties of quantum degenerate Bose gases in semiconductors. Furthermore, indirect excitons allow for the creation of novel optoelectronic devices where excitons are used in place of electrons. Excitonic devices are explored for the development of advanced signal processing seamlessly coupled with optical communication. The thesis presents and describes the author's imaging experiments that led to the discovery of spin transport of excitons. The many firsts presented herein include the first studies of an excitonic conveyer, leading to the discovery of the dynamical localization-delocalization transition for excitons, and the first excitonic ramp and excitonic diode with no energy-dissipating voltage gradient. .Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053SemiconductorsPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Condensed materialsQuantum physicsLow temperature physicsLow temperaturesLasersPhotonicsSemiconductorshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150Quantum Gases and Condensateshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Low Temperature Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Semiconductors.Phase transformations (Statistical physics).Condensed materials.Quantum physics.Low temperature physics.Low temperatures.Lasers.Photonics.Semiconductors.Quantum Gases and Condensates.Quantum Physics.Low Temperature Physics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.530.416Leonard Jasonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut835171MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300537003321Exciton Transport Phenomena in GaAs Coupled Quantum Wells1866555UNINA
