Quasiparticles
Quasiparticle Signification Underlying particles
Angulon Used to describe the rotation of molecules in solvents. First postulated theoretically in 2015,[1] the existence of the angulon was confirmed in February 2017, after a series of experiments spanning 20 years. Heavy and light species of molecules were found to rotate inside superfluid helium droplets, in good agreement with the angulon theory.[2][3]
Anyon A type of quasiparticle that occurs only in two-dimensional systems, with properties much less restricted than fermions and bosons. exciton
Biexciton A bound state of two free excitons
Bion A bound state of solitons, named for Born–Infeld model soliton
