Rotational Vacuum Friction of Nonabsorbing Particles
F. Javier GarcÃa 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…
Near-field-driven Radiative Thermal Dynamics in Aperiodic Nanostructures
M. Prado, A. Manjavacas, F. A. Pinheiro +1
Harnessing structural correlations in near-field plasmonic and polaritonic systems hold untapped potential for controlling light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. By tuning the…
Lattice Resonances in Periodic Arrays of Time-Modulated Scatterers
MarÃa Blanco de Paz, Juan R. Deop-Ruano, Diego M. SolÃs +1
Lattice resonances are collective optical modes supported by periodic arrays of scatterers, arising from their coherent interaction enabled by the underlying periodicity. Owing to…
Quantum Nonlinear Response of Emitter Lattices
Blas Durá-AzorÃn, Antonio I. Fernández-DomÃnguez, Alejandro Manjavacas
We theoretically investigate the emergence of quantum nonlinearities in the optical response of lattices of two-level quantum emitters coherently driven by a laser. For subwaveleng…
Synthetic crystal rotation with spacetime metamaterials
Iñigo Liberal, Alejandro Manjavacas
The interaction of light with rotating bodies has been historically limited to rotation frequencies much smaller than optical frequencies. Here, we investigate synthetic crystal ro…
Roadmap for Photonics with 2D Materials
F. Javier GarcÃa de Abajo, D. N. Basov, Frank H. L. Koppens +145
Triggered by the development of exfoliation and the identification of a wide range of extraordinary physical properties in self-standing films consisting of one or few atomic layer…
