X-ray polarimetry

X-ray polarimetry is a branch of high-energy astrophysics that studies the polarisation properties of X-ray radiation emitted by astrophysical sources. By measuring the orientation and degree of polarisation...

Phonon-Polaritons

Phonon–polaritons are hybrid quasiparticles that arise from the strong coupling between optical phonons (quantised lattice vibrations) and photons (quanta of electromagnetic radiation) within a polar dielectric material. They...
