Cavity quantum electrodynamics provides a powerful tool to manipulate material properties, yet it remains a matter of debate whether and how quantized fields affect the periodicity of crystals. Here, we extend Bloch's theorem to crystals…
We provide a brief topical outline of the persisting problem of the hyperon polarization and consider some future experimental prospects. The predictions which deserve experimental verification are proposed.
In compound semiconductors and insulators, the polar electron-phonon coupling diverges at long range, known as the Fr\"ohlich interaction. Modern first-principles electron-phonon calculations treat the Fr\"ohlich interaction in a…

Polarization is a basic property of light and is fundamentally linked to the internal geometry of a source of radiation. Polarimetry complements photometric, spectroscopic, and imaging analyses of sources of radiation and has made possible…
