Raman scattering of phonon polaritons under nanoscale confinement: the role of structure and environment
George Zograf, Betul Kucukoz, Oleg Kotov +10
Strong light-matter coupling gives rise to polaritons -- quasiparticles that combine both photonic and material characteristics. Here, we show that polar nanocrystals exhibit struc…

Metastable Transitions and -Convergent Eyring-Kramers Asymptotics in Landau-QCD Gradient Systems
Jingxu Wu, Jie Shi
We develop a rigorous analytical framework for metastable stochastic transitions in Landau-type gradient systems inspired by QCD phenomenology. The functional $F(σ;u)=\int_Ω[\fracκ…

Z(3) Metastable Bubbles and Chiral Dynamics Across a Dark-QCD Deconfinement Transition
Jingxu Wu, Chenjia Li, Jie Shi
We present a self-contained theoretical analysis of a dark-QCD chiral transition in which the Polyakov-loop sector retains an explicit structure and couples consistently to…
