Abstract

The suppression of Zeeman energy splitting due to spin-dependent interactions within a Bose-Einstein condensate (the spin Meissner effect) was predicted to occur up to a certain value of magnetic field strength. We report a clear observation of this effect in semimagnetic microcavities which exhibit the giant Zeeman energy splitting between two spin-polarised polariton states as high as 2 meV, and demonstrate that partial suppression of energy difference occurs already in the uncondensed phase in a striking similarity to the up-critical superconductors in the fluctuation dominated regime. These observations are explained quantitatively by a kinetic model accounting for both the condensed and uncondensed polaritons and taking into account the non-equilibrium character of the system.
