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…
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…
Electric control of spin orbit coupling in graphene-based nanostructures with broken rotational symmetry
Alessandro Ciattoni, Claudio Conti, Anatoly Zayats +1
Spin and angular momenta of light are important degrees of freedom in nanophotonics which control light propagation, optical forces and information encoding. Typically, optical ang…
