Fluctuations of the electromagnetic local density of states as a probe for structural phase switching
Fluctuations of the electromagnetic local density of states as a probe for structural phase switching
We study the statistics of the fluorescence decay rates for single quantum emitters embedded in a scattering medium undergoing a phase transition. Under certain circumstances, the structural properties of the scattering medium explore a regime in which the system dynamically switches between two different phases. While in that regime the …
