Resumo

This work investigates the plasmonic properties of a twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and talc heterostructure. Talc, a naturally occurring phyllosilicate, promotes p-type charging of graphene, supporting high charge mobility and strong interaction between graphene plasmons and talc's phonon polaritons. This interaction results in the formation of surface plasmon-phonon polariton (SP3) modes, which are detected using infrared scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR s-SNOM) at room temperature. Notably, without the need for electrostatic gating, our study reveals confinement of SP3 modes in a TBG-talc heterostructure and a transition from surface plasmonic waves to the emergence of moir & eacute; superlattices, characterized by reflections at domain walls. These findings provide fresh insights into the coupling mechanisms in hybrid materials and suggest promising applications in nanoscale optoelectronics. (AU)
