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,…

A negative index metamaterial driven by phonons on a ZnO platform
Julia Ingles-Cerrillo, Pablo Ibanez-Romero, Rajveer Fandan +7
Negative index metamaterials (NIMs) can be achieved with uniaxial hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) featuring and . This type of approach has…
