XUV plasmonic waveguides by near-zero index heterostructures

Luca Assogna, Carino Ferrante, Alessandro Ciattoni +1

The lack of transmissive photonic components in the extreme ultra-violet (XUV) constitutes a challenge for micro/nano-metric confinement. Here, we theoretically design a novel appr…

Quantum interaction of sub-relativistic aloof electrons with mesoscopic samples

Alessandro Ciattoni

Relativistic electrons experience very slight wave packet distortion and negligible momentum recoil when interacting with nanometer-sized samples, as a consequence of the ultra-sho…

Fast electrons interacting with chiral matter: mirror symmetry breaking of quantum decoherence and lateral momentum transfer

Alessandro Ciattoni

Photons experience mirror asymmetry of macroscopic chiral media, as in circular dichroism and polarization rotation, since left and right handed circular polarizations differently…

Asymmetric scattering of mirror symmetric radiation from nanostructures coupled to chiral films

Alessandro Ciattoni

The interaction of radiation with chiral molecular films is not macroscopically invariant under mirror reflections and, accordingly, chiroptical effects exist which affect the spat…

Mirror optical activity: efficient chiral sensing from electromagnetic parity indefiniteness

Alessandro Ciattoni

Mirror symmetry is among the most fundamental concepts of physics and its spontaneous breaking at the molecular level allows chiral molecules to exist in two enantiomers that are m…

Electric directional steering of cathodoluminescence from graphene-based hydrid nanostructures

Alessandro Ciattoni, Claudio Conti, Andrea Marini

Controlling directional emission of nanophotonic radiation sources is fundamental to tailor radiation-matter interaction and to conceive highly efficient nanophotonic devices for o…
