Polaritons are hybrid excitations of matter and photons. In recent years, polaritons in van der
Waals nanomaterials—known as van der Waals polaritons—have shown great promise to …

Artificial chiral nanostructures have been subjected to extensive research for their unique
chiroptical activities. Planarized chiral films of ultrathin thicknesses are in particular demand …

Polaritons, originating from the interactions between photons and material excitations, have
attracted attention because of their strong field compression and deeply subdiffractional …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

Infrared and optical spectroscopy represents one of the most informative methods in
advanced materials research. As an important branch of modern optical techniques that has …

Surface plasmons have proven their ability to boost the sensitivity of mid-infrared
hyperspectral imaging by enhancing light-matter interactions. Surface phonons, a …

Hyperbolic media have attracted much attention in the photonics community due to their
ability to confine light to arbitrarily small volumes and their potential applications to super …

In recent years, the notion of'Quantum Materials' has emerged as a powerful unifying
concept across diverse fields of science and engineering, from condensed-matter and …

Manipulating the properties of the isofrequency contours (IFCs) of materials provides a
powerful means of controlling the interaction between light and matter. Hyperbolic …

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a scan probe technique that offers images with
spectroscopic contrast at a spatial resolution in the nanometer range. PiFM utilizes the non …
