*Motion of spin polariton bullets in semiconductor microcavities*

Spin bullets of high polariton density exist. The spin packets travel with
speeds of the order of 1,000,000 m/s due to the ballistic propagation and
drift of exciton-polaritons from high to low density areas. The speed is
controlled by the angle of incidence of the excitation beams, which changes
the polariton group velocity.

This leads to the realization that polaritons can decouple from their ion
holes and exist in a hybrid state of just electrons and light waves.

Upon coulomb decay, when the electrons leave the bullet structure, does
that bullet structure persist  as just light wave solitons?
