Abstract In this paper the bulk exciton polaritons in ternary mixed crystals (TMCs) are investigated in the Born--Huang approximation. The numerical results of the polariton frequencies as functions of the wave-vector and the compositions for ternary mixed crystals Al$_x$Ga$_{1 - x}$As, Cd$_x$Zn$_{1 - x}$Se, and Al$_x$Ga$_{1 - x}$N are obtained and discussed. The new dispersion characteristics for exciton--polaritons in TMC systems are found in comparison with binary crystals. The splitting of the two branches of exciton--polariton frequencies varies nonlinearly with the composition of TMCs and has a minimum in the long-wavelength range.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
