Cd(Zn)O on SiC: epsilon-near-zero modes and plasmon-phonon coupling
Maria Villanueva-Blanco, Javier Yeste, Julia Ingles-Cerrillo +5
Cd(Zn)O stands out as probably the best plasmonic material in the mid-IR, but it is usually grown on sapphire or other passive substrates. In this work we introduce SiC as a novel,…

GaN mid-IR plasmonics: low-loss epsilon-near-zero modes
Julia Inglés-Cerrillo, Maria Villanueva-Blanco, Benjamin Damilano +3
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials, defined by , enable unique light propagation characteristics, including confinement within sub-wavelength regions. To reduce loss…

Near Field Enhancement via Plasmon Phonon Polariton Coupling with CdO Stripes
Pablo Ibañez-Romero, Maria Villanueva-Blanco, Javier Yeste +5
The mid-infrared spectral region presents significant potential for sensing and spectroscopic applications. However, traditional plasmonic materials exhibit substantial optical los…
