Casimir nanoparticle levitation in vacuum with broadband perfect magnetic conductor metamaterials

Adrian E. Rubio Lopez, Vincenzo Giannini

The levitation of nanoparticles is essential in various branches of research. Casimir forces are natural candidates to tackle it but the lack of broadband metamaterials precluded r…

Exploiting oriented field projectors to open topological gaps in plasmonic nanoparticle arrays

Álvaro Buendía, José A. Sánchez-Gil, Vincenzo Giannini

In the last years there have been multiple proposals in nanophotonics to mimic topological condensed matter systems. However, nanoparticles have degrees of freedom that atoms lack…

High temperature nanocomposites with photonic group velocity suppression of thermal emission

Andrea Mariño-López, Oscar Ameneiro-Prieto, Drew Vecchio +8

Quenching of thermal emission above 0 K is an unusual material property, essential for future energy, transportation, and space technologies. Despite the great effort invested, nea…

Engineering bound states in the continuum at telecom wavelengths with non-Bravais lattices

Shunsuke Murai, Diego R. Abujetas, Libei Liu +5

Various optical phenomena can be induced in periodic arrays of nanoparticles by the radiative coupling of the local dipoles in each particle. Probably the most impressive example i…

Negative reflection of polaritons at the nanoscale in a low-loss natural medium

Gonzalo Alvarez-Perez, Jiahua Duan, Javier Taboada-Gutierrez +10

Negative reflection occurs when light is reflected towards the same side of the normal to the boundary from which it is incident. This exotic optical phenomenon, which provides a n…

Proposal for THz lasing from a topological quantum dot

Marie Rider, Vincenzo Giannini

Topological quantum dots (TQDs) are 3D topological insulator nanoparticles with radius below 100 nm, which display symmetry-protected surface states with discretized energies. We p…
