Phonons
- Technically, phonons aren’t particles; they are quasiparticles – packets of energy that behave like particles in a system.
- A phonon is a quasiparticle of vibrational energy. When the grid of atoms that make up the material vibrates, it releases this energy, and physicists encapsulate it in the form of phonons.
- According to a recent study, while phonons can’t be deflected by the magnetic field – they have no electric charge – they are affected by the electrons that are deflected by the magnetic ....
