Collective excitations in electron-hole bilayers
  We report a combined analytic and Molecular Dynamics analysis of the collective mode spectrum of an electron-hole (bipolar) bilayer in the strong coupling quasi-classical limit. A robust, isotropic energy gap is identified in the out-of-phase spectra, generated by the combined effect of correlations and of the excitation of the bound dipoles; the in-phase spectra exhibit a correlation governed acoustic dispersion for the longitudinal and transverse modes. Strong nonlinear generation of higher harmonics of the fundamental dipole oscillation frequency and the transfer of harmonics between different modes is observed. The mode dispersions in the liquid state are compared with the phonon spectrum in the crystalline solid phase, reinforcing a coherent physical picture.
