Geometric Control of Visible Emitter Creation in Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Oblique Ion Irradiation

Sagar Chowdhury, Bhaveshkumar Kamaliya, Ramachandra Bangari +5

Ion irradiation creates optically active defects in wide-bandgap van der Waals materials, yet most approaches tune defect formation by varying the ion species, energy, or fluence w…

Ultraconfined THz Phonon Polaritons in Hafnium Dichalcogenides

R. A. Kowalski, N. S. Mueller, G. Álvarez-Pérez +18

The confinement of electromagnetic radiation to subwavelength scales relies on strong light-matter interactions. In the infrared (IR) and terahertz (THz) spectral ranges, phonon po…
