Magnetic-field-tunable cyclotron hyperbolic polaritons

Zijian Zhou, Ran Jing, Heng Wang +3

Hyperbolic polaritons are conventionally associated with structural anisotropy or phononic Reststrahlen bands. Here, we predict a new class of hyperbolic polaritons arising from ma…

Plasmon dynamics in graphene

Suheng Xu, Birui Yang, Nishchhal Verma +15

Plasmon are collective oscillations of mobile electrons with dynamics controlled by their charge stiffness("Drude weight"). Using terahertz spacetime metrology, we probe Plasmon dy…

Plasmonic polarization sensing of electrostatic superlattice potentials

Shuai Zhang, Jordan Fonseca, Daniel Bennett +15

Plasmon polaritons are formed by coupling light with delocalized electrons. The half-light and half-matter nature of plasmon polaritons endows them with unparalleled tunability via…

Nano-Imaging of Landau-Phonon Polaritons in Dirac Heterostructures

Lukas Wehmeier, Suheng Xu, Rafael A. Mayer +19

Polaritons are light-matter quasiparticles that govern the optical response of quantum materials and enable their nanophotonic applications. We have studied a new type of polariton…

Electronic interactions in Dirac fluids visualized by nano-terahertz spacetime interference of electron-photon quasiparticles

Suheng Xu, Yutao Li, Rocco A. Vitalone +15

Ultraclean graphene at charge neutrality hosts a quantum critical Dirac fluid of interacting electrons and holes. Interactions profoundly affect the charge dynamics of graphene, wh…

Visualizing moiré ferroelectricity via plasmons and nano-photocurrent in graphene/twisted-WSe2 structures

Shuai Zhang, Yang Liu, Zhiyuan Sun +28

Ferroelectricity, a spontaneous and reversible electric polarization, is found in certain classes of van der Waals (vdW) material heterostructures. The discovery of ferroelectricit…

Negative refraction in hyperbolic hetero-bicrystals

A. J. Sternbach, S. L. Moore, A. Rikhter +12

We visualized negative refraction of phonon polaritons, which occurs at the interface between two natural crystals. The polaritons - hybrids of infrared photons and lattice vibrati…

Infrared Plasmons Propagate through a Hyperbolic Nodal Metal

Yinming Shao, Aaron J. Sternbach, Brian S. Y. Kim +16

Metals are canonical plasmonic media at infrared and optical wavelengths, allowing one to guide and manipulate light at the nano-scale. A special form of optical waveguiding is aff…

Fizeau Drag in Graphene Plasmonics

Y. Dong, L. Xiong, I. Y. Phinney +16

Dragging of light by moving dielectrics was predicted by Fresnel and verified by Fizeau's celebrated experiments with flowing water. This momentous discovery is among the experimen…

Imaging the nanoscale phase separation in vanadium dioxide thin films at terahertz frequencies

H. T. Stinson, A. Sternbach, O. Najera +8

We use apertureless scattering near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to investigate the nanoscale optical response of vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films through a temperature-induced…
