  2. Polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polariton

    In physics, polaritons / p ə ˈ l ær ɪ t ɒ n z, p oʊ-/ [1] are bosonic quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves (photon) with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation (state) of solid or liquid matter (such as a phonon, plasmon, or an exciton).

  3. Exciton-polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton-polariton

    The coupling of the two oscillators, photons modes in the semiconductor optical microcavity and excitons of the quantum wells, results in the energy anticrossing of the bare oscillators, giving rise to the two new normal modes for the system, known as the upper and lower polariton resonances (or branches). The energy shift is proportional to ...

  4. Phonon polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon_polariton

    The coupling of the phonon and the photon is the most promininent in the region where the original transverse disperion relations would have crossed. In the limit of large k , the solid lines of both branches approach the dotted lines, meaning, the coupling does not have a large impact on the behaviour of the vibrations.

  5. List of quasiparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quasiparticles

    A quasiparticle emerging from the coupling between a plasmon and a hole: plasmon, hole Plasmon: A coherent excitation of a plasma: electron Plexciton: Coupling plasmons with excitons Polaron: A moving charged quasiparticle that is surrounded by ions in a material electron, phonon Polariton: A mixture of photon with other quasiparticles photon ...

  6. Quasiparticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiparticle

    For example, a magnon in a ferromagnet can be considered in one of two perfectly equivalent ways: (a) as a mobile defect (a misdirected spin) in a perfect alignment of magnetic moments or (b) as a quantum of a collective spin wave that involves the precession of many spins. In the first case, the magnon is envisioned as a quasiparticle, in the ...

  7. Polaron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaron

    A polaron is a quasiparticle used in condensed matter physics to understand the interactions between electrons and atoms in a solid material. The polaron concept was proposed by Lev Landau in 1933 [1] and Solomon Pekar in 1946 [2] to describe an electron moving in a dielectric crystal where the atoms displace from their equilibrium positions to effectively screen the charge of an electron ...

  8. Magnon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnon

    A magnon is a quasiparticle, a collective excitation of the spin structure of an electron in a crystal lattice. In the equivalent wave picture of quantum mechanics, a magnon can be viewed as a quantized spin wave. Magnons carry a fixed amount of energy and lattice momentum, and are spin-1, indicating they obey boson behavior.

  9. Photon structure function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_structure_function

    Fig 2: Measured photon structure function versus x for Q 2 = 4.3 GeV 2 (blue crosses) and 39.7 GeV 2 (black crosses) compared to the QCD prediction (red, green) explained in the text. The hadronic system produced in two-photon reactions has in general a rather high momentum along the beam direction resulting in small hadronic scattering angles.
