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.

Joel Yuen-Zhou, PhD is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on the theoretical description of novel interactions between light and molecular matter in the weak, strong, and ultrastrong coupling regimes. His pioneering work on polariton chemistry has been recognized with several awards including a Sloan Fellowship as well as the NSF CAREER, DOE Early Career and Camille-Dreyfus Teacher Scholar awards.

Noel C. Giebink, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on light-matter interaction and the physics of organic semiconductor materials and devices. He is a senior member of IEEE, Optica, and SPIE, and has been recognized with the DARPA YFA, AFOSR YIP, and NSF CAREER awards.

Raphael F. Ribeiro, PhD is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Emory University, Atlanta since 2020. His research is focused on theoretical models and simulation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemical dynamics in mesoscopic materials. His work has been recognized with awards that include NSF CAREER award and a Young Investigator Award by the Physical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society.
