Abstract

Our previous theory of the formation of exciton condensed phases in a two-dimensional system is applied to the analysis of the temperature dependence of a number of parameters of the system. The pumping intensity-temperature phase diagram is constructed, some of its features characteristic of indirect excitons having a dipole moment are established, the dependences of the intensity of the radiation band corresponding to the condensed phase on the pumping intensity and temperature are calculated, and the results are compared with experimental data.
