Ultraconfined THz Phonon Polaritons in Hafnium Dichalcogenides

R. A. Kowalski, N. S. Mueller, G. Álvarez-Pérez +18

The confinement of electromagnetic radiation to subwavelength scales relies on strong light-matter interactions. In the infrared (IR) and terahertz (THz) spectral ranges, phonon po…

Two-dimensional talc as a natural hyperbolic material

Flávio H. Feres, Francisco C. B. Maia, Shu Chen +14

This study demonstrates that two-dimensional talc, a naturally abundant mineral, supports hyperbolic phonon-polaritons (HPhPs) at mid-infrared wavelengths, thus offering a low-cost…
