Polariton Chemistry: Molecules in Cavities

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 p...
