Title

Inside the magnetic polaron

Abstract

Polarons --- quasiparticles consisting of charge carriers 'dressed' with lattice distortions or magnetic spins --- have been ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Yet polarons have resisted direct measurement and subsequent characterisation due to a lack of suitable experimental techniques. Here we propose to use SANS to probe, for the first time, the internal structure of individual magnetic polarons. Two methods will be used to induce polarons: charge doping of the semiconductor sample (EuTe) and incident light.
