Twin Domains in Van der Waals Quaternary Oxides

Dorothée S. Mader, Niels Brumby, Xiaosheng Yang +10

Optical anisotropy is the basis for many intriguing phenomena in van der Waals materials, including hyperbolic polaritons and extreme birefringence. Stacking and twisting van der W…

Non-equilibrium state during proton-deuteron exchange at a liquid-liquid interface

Tillmann Buttersack, Niclas Sven Mueller, Giulia Carini +12

Proton-deuteron exchange is a very fast process, even across macroscopic length scales. Here we directly and quantitatively measure the formation of HDO within the first 100 micros…

Spectral tuning of hyperbolic shear polaritons in monoclinic gallium oxide via isotopic substitution

Giulia Carini, Mohit Pradhan, Elena Gelzinyte +26

Hyperbolic phonon polaritons - hybridized modes arising from the ultrastrong coupling of infrared light to strongly anisotropic lattice vibrations in uniaxial or biaxial polar crys…
