Quasiparticle
From apm
Due to gem-gum technology allowing for precise and repeatable structuring of matter at the atomic scale
designing structures specifically for exploring the properties and possible application areas of quasi-particles
becomes experimentally very accessible.
Quasi particles seem to be a largely untapped treasure trove of possible applications.
Many quasi-particles may only be able to support low power densities and thus be "only" suitable for sensing and computing applications
(quasiparticles involving nuclear spins come to mind) ,
while others (including phonons) will also be usable high power applications.
Especially interesting ones:
Some less known ones:
- Polaron
- Spinon
- Magnon
