Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton polaritons
Article Abstract:
A comprehensive set of experiments giving compelling evidence for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of polaritons are presented. Observations of a massive occupation of the ground state developing from a polar ton gas at thermal equilibrium at 19K, an increase of temporal coherence, and the build-up of long-range spatial coherence and linear polarization above a critical density are reported, which collectively indicate the spontaneous onset of a macroscopic quantum phase.

Large magnetoresistance in non-magnetic silver chalcogenides
Article Abstract:
Research shows that silver chalcogenide materials exhibit dramatically different magnetoresistive properties after being modified stoichiometrically. The silver chalcogenides Ag2S, Ag2Se and Ag2Te become superionic conductors in temperatures of over approximately 400 degrees kelvin but exhibit non-magnetic semiconductor properties at lower temperatures. Varying magnetoresistance properties against temperature are illustrated.

Non-saturating magnetoresistance in heavily disordered semiconductors
Article Abstract:
A simple model of a macroscopically disordered and strongly inhomogeneous semiconductor that exhibits a similar non-saturating magnetoresistance is presented. The model suggests potential routes for the construction of magnetic field sensors with a large controllable and linear response.
