Rotational Vacuum Friction of Nonabsorbing Particles
F. Javier García de Abajo, Alejandro Manjavacas
A nonabsorbing particle rotating in vacuum can lose angular momentum only by converting mechanical energy into electromagnetic radiation. Here, we develop a quantum theory of rotat…
Atomically thin silver films for enhanced nanoscale nonlinear optics
Philipp K. Jenke, Saad Abdullah, Andrew P. Weber +8
The inherently weak nonlinear optical response of bulk materials remains a fundamental limitation in advancing photonic technologies. Nanophotonics addresses this challenge by tail…
Photonics in Flatland: Challenges and Opportunities for Nanophotonics with 2D Semiconductors
Ali Azimi, Julien Barrier, Angela Barreda +45
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are emerging as a versatile platform for nanophotonics, offering unprecedented tunability in optical properties through exciton resonance engine…
Zeptosecond free-electron compression through temporal lensing
Xin Jin, Cruz I. Velasco, F. Javier García de Abajo
The pursuit of ever-shorter time scales is a frontier in modern physics, exemplified by the synthesis of attosecond light pulses -- an achievement made possible by coherently super…
Realization of a Pre-Sample Photonic-based Free-Electron Modulator in Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopes
Beatrice Matilde Ferrari, Cameron James Richard Duncan, Michael Yannai +16
Spatial and temporal light modulation is a well-established technology that enables dynamic shaping of the phase and amplitude of optical fields, significantly enhancing the resolu…
Attosecond electron microscopy by free-electron homodyne detection
John H. Gaida, Hugo Lourenço-Martins, Murat Sivis +4
Time-resolved electron microscopy aims at tracking nanoscale excitations and dynamic states of matter with a temporal resolution ultimately reaching the attosecond regime. Periodic…
Spatiotemporal Electron-Beam Focusing through Parallel Interactions with Shaped Optical Fields
F. Javier García de Abajo, Claus Ropers
The ability to modulate free electrons with light has emerged as a powerful tool to produce attosecond electron wavepackets. However, research has so far aimed at the manipulation…
Quantum Effects in the Acoustic Plasmons of Atomically-Thin Heterostructures
A. Rodríguez Echarri, Joel D. Cox, F. Javier García de Abajo
Recent advances in nanofabrication technology now enable unprecedented control over 2D heterostructures, in which single- or few-atom thick materials with synergetic opto-electroni…
Tracking ultrafast hot-electron diffusion in space and time by ultrafast thermo-modulation microscopy
Alexander Block, Matz Liebel, Renwen Yu +4
The ultrafast response of metals to light is governed by intriguing non-equilibrium dynamics involving the interplay of excited electrons and phonons. The coupling between them giv…
