A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ordinary crystals: the strength of interactions between electrons and lattice ...

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller ...

Observing vibrational coherences which appear as quantum beats on a spectrograph, and catching an elusive quasiparticle-Exciton polaron. The spectrograph records a projection of macroscopic ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Chiral phonons excited by the circularly polarized terahertz light pulses generate ultrafast magnetization in cerium fluoride. Fluorine ions (red, fuchsia) are set into motion by circularly polarized ...

Experiments show that carbon nanotubes transfer heat inefficiently at small scales, raising concerns for cooling and performance in nanoelectronic devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Thermal energy in solid ...
