Unveiling the Mechanism of Phonon-Polariton Damping in α-MoO_3

Javier Taboada-Gutiérrez, Yixi Zhou, Ana I. F. Tresguerres-Mata +14

Phonon polaritons (PhPs) (light coupled to lattice vibrations) in the highly anisotropic polar layered material molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO_3) are currently the focus of intense res…
