Polarons are quasiparticles composed of excess electrons dressed with virtual phonon clouds. They are ubiquitous in materials and play a key role in various physicochemical properties, including ...

Fermi polaron research at Heidelberg University has resolved a 58-year contradiction in quantum many-body physics by deriving ...

LMU researchers have directly measured a physical phenomenon that was theoretically described all the way back in 1933 – the polaron. When an electron travels through a polar crystalline solid, its ...

A new artificial magnetic material has been developed by researchers, enabling remarkable possibilities to materials research, say scientists. Visualization was enabled by designing a new artificial ...

Scientists tracked polaron formation for the first time using ultrafast imaging, confirming decades-old predictions about electron energy loss and mass gain in crystal lattices. (Nanowerk News) When ...
