Possible ambiguous syntax?

[edit]

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the meaning seems ambiguous. To a non-expert reader, it could be interpreted that a polariton is an electron with an attached phonon cloud OR that a polaron is an electron with an attached phonon cloud. Perhaps this sentence ought to be rewritten as two sentences to provide more clarity. Thoughts?

Comments from Lesotho

[edit]

No questions here, just wanted to compliment whoever took the time to link to the proper references--Fano's early work on this topic. Cheers.Lesotho 18:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm...As person with more than a year of college physics, After reading this article, I still have no idea what a polariton is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclopiano (talkcontribs) 14:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BECs: could someone write something about polariton BECs? Do they really exist? Does the small mass really imply room temperature BECs? Cesiumfrog (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consider for future use: "A new way to make laser-like beams using 1,000 times less power"

Summary: With precarious particles called polaritons that straddle the worlds of light and matter, researchers have demonstrated a new, practical and potentially more efficient way to make a coherent laser-like beam.

what about phonon-polariton resonance

[edit]

I think a section would be relevant. Considering this advancement;http://www.colorado.edu/today/2017/02/09/newly-engineered-material-can-cool-roofs-structures-zero-energy-consumption and http://www.livescience.com/57902-magic-foil-cools-buildings.html Wikipietime (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Examples from Nature Magazine

[edit]

Examples of such a dipole include an electron–hole pair in a semiconductor, which forms an exciton polariton, and the oscillating electrons at the surface of a metal, which creates a surface-plasmon polariton. Colinsk (talk) 17:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
