About this book
Understand the emerging field of polariton chemistry with this accessible introduction
Polaritons are hybrid excitations formed when confined electromagnetic modes form strong couplings with dipole active transitions in a dielectric medium. They have long been a fixture of research in inorganic semiconductor optics but have recently also been taken up as an object of study in molecular science, where their prospective applications are many. The tunability of their molecular properties and processes have given rise to an interdisciplinary field of polariton chemistry, with important potential ramifications for a huge range of fields.
Polariton Chemistry provides a pedagogical overview of this research subject, in which optical cavities are used to control the physiochemical properties and dynamics of molecular systems. The book emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of this burgeoning field and the need for a shared language and set of fundamentals across many research disciplines. With no existing rival in the current literature, it's a must-own for researchers in almost any of the physical sciences.
Polariton Chemistry readers will also find:
- Analysis of prospective applications including long-range excitation energy transfer, enhanced charge conductivity, and more
- Detailed discussion of topics including single molecule strong light-matter coupling, ultrastrong light-matter coupling, and many more
- Coverage of key theoretical and experimental techniques
Polariton Chemistry is ideal for any scientist in the fields of physical chemistry, materials science, photonics, quantum optics, and engineering.
