Polaritons are quasi-particles originated from the coupling between photons and elementary resonances of matter. In the recent years, research on the wave and corpuscular behavior of different types of polaritons in two-dimensional (2D) crystals has greatly contributed to the understanding of novel aspects of nano-optics. Types of polaritons that have been the protagonist in such studies …
One of the main aims of the polaritonics in 2D materials is to achieve control of the polariton waves propagation. This work aims to study (i) the anisotropic propagation of polaritons in hBN on alfa-MoO3 and GeSe substrates that have different crystalline axes in the basal plane and (ii) understand the mechanisms that cause the reflection of polariton waves in spectral regions of close e…
Nano antennas are essential components for future 2D optoelectronic devices with information transmission functionality. Necessary characteristics for a nanoantenna are the ability to spatially confine radiation and to be tunable with respect to the wavelength of the incident radiation. In this work, these properties will be studied based on the polaritonic response of a graphene-SnO2 nan…
The light-matter interaction in two-dimensional photonics crystals occur, primarily, via formation of polaritons, quasi-particules with sub-drifractional wavelength associated to material resonances like vibrations and free charge waves. In this investigation, we will study plasmons-polaritons of graphene (G), phonon-polaritons of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and theplasmon-phonon-polari…
