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 in high power applications.
Especially interesting ones:
Some less known ones:
- Polaron
- Spinon
- Magnon
