azimuthon (plural azimuthons)

  1. (physics) An exciton-polariton confined steady state with azimuthally modulated density
    • 2015, Guangyao Li, “Azimuthons and pattern formation in annularly confined exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates”, in arXiv[1]:
      We demonstrate that an incoherent ring-shaped optical pump creating the exciton-polariton confinement supports the existence of stationary and rotating azimuthon steady states with azimuthally modulated density.
