Dark Optical Trapping of Resonant Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Particles
Patrick Illetschek, Gleb Fedorovich, Albert Seredin +6
Mitigating recoil events and minimizing optically induced heating are central challenges in the precise control and cooling of macroscopic particles. To overcome this, we propose t…
Giant exciton binding energy in bulk CrCl3
Georgy Ermolaev, Tagir Mazitov, Anton Minnekhanov +20
Van der Waals (vdW) materials, with their unique combination of electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, are emerging as promising platforms for exploring excitonic phenomena.…
Hyperbolic-enhanced Raman scattering in van der Waals MoOCl2: from Fano resonances to picomolar detection
Anton Minnekhanov, Gleb Tikhonowski, Georgy Ermolaev +13
Natural van der Waals (vdW) crystals with hyperbolic dispersion challenge artificial metamaterials but remain confined to the mid-infrared. The emergence of MoOCl2, a quasi-one-dim…
Scalable van der Waals Photonics: High-Refractive-Index Gallium Sulfide Films with Single-Crystal Optical Properties
Aleksandr Slavich, Georgy Ermolaev, Dmitriy Grudinin +15
The integration of high-refractive-index dielectrics into scalable photonic architectures is foundational to advancing integrated circuits and augmented reality (AR) displays. Van…
Solvent-Directed Femtosecond Laser Ablation: Tuning Phase and Defect Engineering in Hybrid CdPS3/CdS Nanostructures
Andrei Ushkov, Nadezhda Belozerova, Gleb Tikhonowski +8
The limited visible-light absorption of wide-bandgap van der Waals crystals fundamentally restricts their utility in solar energy conversion. Here, we report a surfactant-free, sol…
Giant optical anisotropy and visible-frequency epsilon-near-zero in hyperbolic van der Waals MoOCl2
Georgy Ermolaev, Adilet Toksumakov, Aleksandr Slavich +14
The realization of extreme optical anisotropy is foundational to nanoscale light manipulation. Van der Waals (vdW) crystal MoOCl2 has emerged as a promising candidate for this ques…
