Giant optical spin-orbit interactions in ferroelectric van der Waals waveguides

Ding Xu, Saeed Rahmanian Koshkaki, Vicente Galicia +14

Optical spin-orbit interactions (SOI) link photonic spin to momentum, offering a route toward on-chip polarization control and beam steering. Nevertheless, achieving sufficient opt…

Plasmon dynamics in graphene

Suheng Xu, Birui Yang, Nishchhal Verma +15

Plasmon are collective oscillations of mobile electrons with dynamics controlled by their charge stiffness("Drude weight"). Using terahertz spacetime metrology, we probe Plasmon dy…

Observation of Coherent Ferrons

Jeongheon Choe, Taketo Handa, Chun-Ying Huang +16

Excitation of ordered quantum phases gives rise to collective modes and quasiparticles, as exemplified by spin waves and magnons emerging from magnetic order. Extending this paradi…

Flat band excitons in a three-dimensional supertwisted spiral transition metal dichalcogenide

Yinan Dong, Yuzhou Zhao, Lennart Klebl +19

A new frontier in van der Waals twistronics is the development of three-dimensional (3D) supertwisted materials, where each successive atomic layer rotates by the same angle. While…
