Femtosecond photo-switching of interface polaritons in black phosphorus heterostructures
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 207 (2017). doi:10.1038/nnano.2016.261 Authors: Markus A. Huber, Fabian Mooshammer, Markus Plankl, Leonardo Viti, Fabian Sandner, Lukas Z. Kastner, Tobias Frank, Jaroslav Fabian, Miriam S. Vitiello, Tyler L. Cocker & Rupert Huber The possibility of hybridizing collective electronic motion with mid-infrared light to form surface polaritons has made van der Waals layered materials a versatile platform for extreme light confinement and tailored nanophotonics. Graphene and its heterostructures have attracted particular attention because the absence of an energy gap allows plasmon polariton...
