Excitation-Energy-Selective Control of Hot-Carrier Cooling via a Resonant Optical-Phonon Bottleneck in Graphene

Sachin Sharm, Elliott Walker, Rachael Myers-Ward +4

Understanding and controlling hot-carrier relaxation in graphene is crucial for advancing ultrafast optoelectronic and terahertz technologies. Here, we investigate carrier cooling…

Fröhlich-type Polarons in Isotopically Enriched Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Ioannis Chatzakis, Timur Abdilov, Elliot Walker +3

Exciton-phonon interactions play a central role in defining the optical response of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), yet their quantitative determination has remained incomplete. Her…

Ultrafast Hot-Carrier cooling in Quasi Freestanding Bilayer Graphene with Hydrogen Intercalated Atoms

Sachin Sharma, Rachael L. Myers-Ward, David Kurt Gaskill +1

We perform a femtosecond-THz optical pump-probe spectroscopy to investigate the cooling dynamics of hot carriers in quasi-free standing bilayer epitaxial graphene. We observed long…

Strong Confinment of optical fields using localised surface phonon polaritons in cubic Boron Nitride

Ioannis Chatzakis, Athith Krishna, James Culbertson +4

Phonon polaritons (PhPs) are long-lived electromagnetic modes that originate from the coupling of infrared photons with the bound ionic lattice of a polar crystal. Cubic-Boron nitr…

Controlling the Infrared Dielectric Function through Atomic-Scale Heterostructures

Daniel C. Ratchford, Christopher J. Winta, Ioannis Chatzakis +20

Surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) - the surface-bound electromagnetic modes of a polar material resulting from the coupling of light with optic phonons - offer immense technologica…

Ultra-low-loss Polaritons in Isotopically Pure Materials: A New Approach

Alexander J. Giles, Siyuan Dai, Igor Vurgaftman +12

Conventional optical components are limited to size-scales much larger than the wavelength of light, as changes in the amplitude, phase and polarization of the electromagnetic fiel…
