Relative efficiency of polariton emission in two-dimensional materials
Siyuan Dai, Qiong Ma, Yafang Yang +15
We investigated emission and propagation of polaritons in a two dimensional van der Waals material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Our specific emphasis in this work is on hyperboli…
Graphene-Based Platform for Infrared Near-Field Nanospectroscopy of Water and Biological Materials in an Aqueous Environment
Omar Khatib, Joshua D. Wood, Alexander S. McLeod +12
Scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) has emerged as a powerful nanoscale spectroscopic tool capable of characterizing individual biomacromolecules and molecul…
Tunneling Plasmonics in Bilayer Graphene
Z. Fei, E. G. Iwinski, G. X. Ni +14
We report experimental signatures of plasmonic effects due to electron tunneling between adjacent graphene layers. At sub-nanometer separation, such layers can form either a strong…
Graphene on hexagonal boron nitride as a tunable hyperbolic metamaterial
S. Dai, Q. Ma, M. K. Liu +13
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a natural hyperbolic material, for which the dielectric constants are the same in the basal plane (epsilon^t = epsilon^x = epsilon^y) but have opp…
Ultrafast and Nanoscale Plasmonic Phenomena in Exfoliated Graphene Revealed by Infrared Pump-Probe Nanoscopy
Martin Wagner, Zhe Fei, Alexander S. McLeod +14
Pump-probe spectroscopy is central for exploring ultrafast dynamics of fundamental excitations, collective modes and energy transfer processes. Typically carried out using conventi…
Electronic and plasmonic phenomena at graphene grain boundaries
Z. Fei, A. S. Rodin, W. Gannett +13
Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms, is of great interest in (opto)electronics and plasmonics and can be obtained by means of diverse fabrication techniqu…
Infrared nanoscopy of Dirac plasmons at the graphene-SiO2 interface
Zhe Fei, Gregory O. Andreev, Wenzhong Bao +13
We report on infrared (IR) nanoscopy of 2D plasmon excitations of Dirac fermions in graphene. This is achieved by confining mid-IR radiation at the apex of a nanoscale tip: an appr…
Near-field spectroscopy of silicon dioxide thin films
Lingfeng M. Zhang, Gregory O. Andreev, Zhe Fei +6
We analyze the results of scanning near-field infrared spectroscopy performed on thin films of a-SiO2 on Si substrate. The measured near-field signal exhibits surface-phonon resona…
