Temperature-dependent Optical and Polaritonic Properties of hBN-encapsulated Monolayer TMDs
Matan Meshulam, Anabel Atash Kahlon, Yonatan Gershuni +3
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) support robust excitons in the visible to near-infrared spectral range. Their reduced dielectric screening results in large bindin…
The Transmission Line Model for 2D Materials and van der Waals Heterostructures
Tomer Eini, Anabel Atash Kahlon, Matan Meshulam +5
Van der Waals heterostructures (VdWHs) composed of 2D materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their intriguing optical properties, such as strong ligh…
Photonics in Flatland: Challenges and Opportunities for Nanophotonics with 2D Semiconductors
Ali Azimi, Julien Barrier, Angela Barreda +45
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are emerging as a versatile platform for nanophotonics, offering unprecedented tunability in optical properties through exciton resonance engine…
Strongly Coupled Exciton--Hyperbolic-phonon-polariton Hybridized States in hBN-encapsulated Biased Bilayer Graphene
Tomer Eini, N. M. R. Peres, Yarden Mazor +1
Excitons in biased bilayer graphene are electrically tunable optical excitations residing in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range, where intrinsic optical transitions are typicall…
Nanometer-scale Cavities for Mid-infrared Radiation via Image Phonon Polariton Resonators
Michael Klein, Yonatan Gershuni, Alisa Perutski +2
Surface-polaritons play a pivotal role in strong light-matter interactions at the nanoscale due to their ability to confine light to deep subwavelength dimensions. A promising clas…
"Ohhh, He's the Boss!": Unpacking Power Dynamics Among Developers, Designers, and End-Users in FLOSS Usability
Jazlyn Hellman, Itai Epstein, Jinghui Cheng +1
Addressing usability in free, libre, and open-source software (FLOSS) is a challenging issue, particularly due to a long-existing "by developer, for developer" mentality. Engaging…
