Indium Antimonide, constraints on practicality as a magneto-optical platform for topological surface plasmon polaritons
arXiv:2011.06189 · doi:10.1063/5.0030544
Abstract
Magnetic-field-biased indium antimonide (InSb) is one of the most widely-discussed materials for supporting nonreciprocal surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which have recently been shown to be topological. In this work, we provide a critical assessment of InSb as a magneto-optical SPP platform, and show that it is only viable under a narrow set of conditions.
