Scientific paper

We present experiments on the luminescence of excitons confined in a potential trap at sub-Kelvin temperatures after nanosecond pulsed laser excitation. Analysis of the experimental results with a rate model shows that the so-called Auger decay of yellow excitons, which in previous studies led to a rapid decay of the excitons at high densities and thus prevented reaching the critical density for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), is greatly reduced for paraexcitons. We demonstrate that exciton numbers well above 1010 can be collected in a potential trap, albeit at temperatures in the 10 K range. During their lifetime of about 500 ns the paraexcitons cool down to the temperature of the He bath. This opens up the possibility to observe a BEC of paraexcitons provided that the bath temperature can be reduced to below 100 mK.
