This page is mostly a long list of links to wikipedia. But there'll be a focus on:

• eventual practical applicability in small devices outside of highly specialized labs (avoiding nano kelvin only phenomena)
• relation to APM and gem-gum-tec
• less exotic stuff first
• giving a better overview than otherwhere exists (more than just a long list)

External links about the general concept

Basic quasiparticles

Phonons (bosonic)

Quantized lattice vibrations.

Plasmons – electron gas quasiparticles

These can have short wavelength in nm scale.

Holes and Excitons

• Electron hole

Weakly bound electron hole pairs. Uncharged.
They can transport energy transport.

• Exciton

Magnons – Spin wave quasiparticle

• Magnonics
• Magnon
• Spin wave

Wikipedia: "Magnons offer a way to control light-matter interactions at Terahertz frequencies."
From the "Surface magnon polariton" page. See further down.

Spinons, Orbitons, Holons

These three are interlinked originating from a single splitup but sometimes able to act independently. To check.

• Spinon
• Orbiton
• Holon

Interaction based quasiparticles

Adding interactions means there is a bit of a combinatoric explosion and thus a whole zoo of subtype-quasiparticles.

Polarons (fermionic, various types of these)

Not to confuse with plaritons!
See: Polaron

Wikipedia: "… describe an electron moving in a dielectric crystal where the atoms displace from their equilibrium positions to effectively screen the charge of an electron, known as a phonon cloud. This lowers the electron mobility and increases the electron's effective mass."

Wikipedia: "acoustic polaron, piezoelectric polaron, electronic polaron, bound polaron, trapped polaron, spin polaron, molecular polaron, solvated polarons, polaronic exciton, Jahn-Teller polaron, small polaron, bipolarons and many-polaron systems."

Wikipedia: "The possibility that polarons and bipolarons play a role in high-temperature superconductors has renewed interest in the physical properties of many-polaron systems and, in particular, in their optical properties."

This seems to be linked to the bounding mechanism in cooper pairs. To check.

Polaritons (bosonic, various types of these)

Wikipedia: "… strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation."
EM + exctitons or plasmons or ionic-crystal-phonons or magnons or ...

• Polariton
• Polaritonics (phonon polaritrons THz range)
• Bose–Einstein condensation of polaritons
• Polariton_laser
• Polariton superfluid
• Intersubband polariton

Examples of polariton types:

• Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) (EM waves travelling along a metal–dielectric or metal–air interface, practically in the infrared or visible-frequency)
• Surface magnon polariton (EM ratiation surface polarization coupling)

Related to polaritrons:

• Avoided crossing
• Level repulsion

Other interaction based quasiparticles

• Plasmaron: plasmon-electron (observed in graphene and earlier in elemental bismuth)
• Plexciton (plasmon exciton coherent coupling)
• Related: Spinplasmonics

Other basic quasiparticles

• Roton – "… an elementary excitation, or quasiparticle, seen in superfluid helium-4 and Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range dipolar interactions or spin-orbit coupling."
• Trion_(physics) – observed in dichalcogenide 2D materials

• Dropleton – "a collection of electrons and holes inside a semiconductor" giving a quasiparticle that behaves like a liquid – stable for 25ps in 200nm wide GaAs quantum well after generation by ultrashort laser pulses
• Davydov soliton – Something within proteins.
