Hyperbolic phonon-polariton electroluminescence in graphene-hBN van der Waals heterostructures

Qiushi Guo, Iliya Esin, Cheng Li +7

Phonon-polaritons are electromagnetic waves resulting from the coherent coupling of photons with optical phonons in polar dielectrics. Due to their exceptional ability to confine e…
