Rotational Vacuum Friction of Nonabsorbing Particles
F. Javier García 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
María Blanco de Paz, Juan R. Deop-Ruano, Diego M. Solís +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-Azorín, Antonio I. Fernández-Domínguez, 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 García 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…
Thermal Radiation Force and Torque on Moving Nanostructures with Anisotropic Optical Response
Juan R. Deop-Ruano, Alejandro Manjavacas
Nanoscale objects moving relative to a thermal radiation bath experience a drag force due to the imbalance in their interaction with the blue- and redshifted components of the elec…
Chiral Light-Matter Interactions with Thermal Magnetoplasmons in Graphene Nanodisks
Mikkel Have Eriksen, Juan R. Deop-Ruano, Joel D. Cox +1
We investigate the emergence of self-hybridized thermal magnetoplasmons in doped graphene nanodisks at finite temperatures when subjected to an external magnetic field. Using a sem…
Geometric Antibunching and Directional Shaping of Photon Anticorrelations
Blas Durá-Azorín, Alejandro Manjavacas, Antonio I. Fernández-Domínguez
We investigate the directional characteristics of photon statistics in dimers of quantum emitters. For their analysis, we construct a two-point second-order correlation function th…
Thermal radiation forces on planar structures with asymmetric optical response
Juan R. Deop-Ruano, F. Javier García de Abajo, Alejandro Manjavacas
Light carries momentum and, upon interaction with material structures, can exert forces on them. Here, we show that a planar structure with asymmetric optical response is spontaneo…
Vacuum friction in rotating particles
A. Manjavacas, F. J. García de Abajo
We study the frictional torque acting on particles rotating in empty space. At zero temperature, vacuum friction transforms mechanical energy into light emission and produces parti…
