Polaritonics for Next Generation Materials
Over the past decade it has gradually been revealed that polaritonic systems, where light and matter are strongly coupled, can exhibit pronounced modifications in the properties of materials, with examples including chemical reactivity of molecules, enhanced exciton and charge transport, crystallization processes and many others. The accumulated research around this phenomenon have led to the emergence of a new field of “polaritonic materials”, opening the route toward novel tools in chemistry and materials science. This special issue, which will follow the E-MRS symposium “Polaritonics for Next Generation Materials”, aims to highlight the latest progress in this rapidly expanding field, as well as the key conceptual challenges that are yet to be resolved.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Energy and charge transport in polaritonic materials
- Polaritons for future optoelectronic technologies
- Cavity-control of chemical reactions
- Spectroscopy
- Photophysics and photochemistry of polaritonic systems
- Novel modeling approaches
