Abstract
Symmetric electron-hole bilayer systems have been studied at zero temperature using the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo method. A flexible trial wave function is used that can describe fluid, excitonic, and biexcitonic phases. We calculate condensate fractions and pair correlation functions for a large number of densities r(s) and layer separations d. At small d we find a one-component fluid phase, an excitonic fluid phase, and a biexcitonic fluid phase, and the transitions among them appear to be continuous. At d=0, excitons appear to survive down to about r(s)=0.5 a.u., and biexcitons form at r(s)>2.5 a.u.
