Australian National University scientists have engineered a room-temperature enclosure in which to concentrate ‘exciton polaritons’ – an exotic form of energy and matter with potential for optoelectronics in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, such as tungsten disulphide. The exciton polariton is a hybrid particle composed of an exciton, formed from a bound electron-hole pair, and a photon. …
