Analysis of the Topology of a Plasmonic Target-Skyrmion Texture

Alexander Neuhaus, Pascal Dreher, Philipp Gessler +5

Topological concepts are frequently used to describe structured optical fields, including plasmonic near fields. Topological descriptions in terms of skyrmion numbers implicitly as…

Intrinsic plasmon canalization in the biaxial van der Waals crystal MoOCl

Farid Aghashirinov, Andrea Mancini, Lin Nan +4

Anisotropic polaritons in low-symmetry crystals allow for subwavelength confinement and directional routing of light. The most extreme form of such anisotropy arises at the topolog…

Phonon-polaritonic skyrmions: Transition from bubble- to Néel-type

Florian Mangold, Enrico Baù, Lin Nan +6

Optical skyrmions are members of the emerging topological branch of solid-state physics and photonics, allowing for control over topological light textures through light-matter int…

Spatio-temporal topology of plasmonic spin meron pairs revealed by polarimetric photo-emission microscopy

Pascal Dreher, Alexander Neuhaus, David Janoschka +6

Topology is the study of geometrical properties and spatial relations unaffected by continuous changes, and has become an important tool for understanding complex physical systems.…

Skyrmion Bag Robustness in Plasmonic Bilayer and Trilayer Moiré Superlattices

Julian Schwab, Florian Mangold, Bettina Frank +2

Twistronics is studied intensively in twisted 2D heterostructures and its extension to trilayer moiré structures has proven beneficial for the tunability of unconventional correlat…

Femtosecond field-driven on-chip unidirectional electronic currents in nonadiabatic tunnelling regime

Liping Shi, Ihar Babushkin, Anton Husakou +10

Recently, asymmetric plasmonic nanojunctions [Karnetzky et. al., Nature Comm. 2471, 9 (2018)] have shown promise as on-chip electronic devices to convert femtosecond optical pulses…

Highly Confined In-plane Exciton-Polaritons in Monolayer Semiconductors

Itai Epstein, Andre J. Chaves, Daniel A. Rhodes +7

2D materials support unique excitations of quasi-particles that consist of a material excitation and photons called polaritons. Especially interesting are in-plane propagating pola…

Near-unity light absorption in a monolayer WS2 van der Waals heterostructure cavity

Itai Epstein, Bernat Terrés, André J. Chaves +12

Excitons in monolayer transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDs) dominate their optical response and exhibit strong light-matter interactions with lifetime-limited emission. While var…
