Evolving from metamaterials, optical metasurfaces not only inherit their unprecedented
flexibility in tailoring light–matter interaction but also the generally fixed response …

Efficient Fizeau drag from Dirac electrons in monolayer graphene

W Zhao, S Zhao, H Li, S Wang, S Wang, MIB Utama… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Fizeau demonstrated in 1850 that the speed of light can be modified when it is propagating
in moving media. However, such control of the light speed has not been achieved efficiently …

Broadband nonreciprocal amplification in luminal metamaterials

E Galiffi, PA Huidobro, JB Pendry - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Time has emerged as a new degree of freedom for metamaterials, promising new pathways

Engineering transistorlike optical gain in two-dimensional materials with berry curvature dipoles

TG Rappoport, TA Morgado, S Lannebère… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Transistors are key elements of electronic circuits as they enable, for example, the isolation
or amplification of voltage signals. While conventional transistors are point-type (lumped …

Drift-induced unidirectional graphene plasmons

TA Morgado, MG Silveirinha - ACS photonics, 2018 - ACS Publications
Nonreciprocal photonic devices enable “one-way” light flows and are essential building
blocks of optical systems. Here, we investigate an alternative paradigm to break reciprocity …

Nonlocal effects and enhanced nonreciprocity in current-driven graphene systems

TA Morgado, MG Silveirinha - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
A graphene sheet biased with a drift electric current offers a unique opportunity to attain
unidirectional, backscattering-immune, and subwavelength light propagation, as proposed …

Nonreciprocal and non-Hermitian material response inspired by semiconductor transistors

S Lannebère, DE Fernandes, TA Morgado… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS

Emission of plasmons by drifting Dirac electrons: A hallmark of hydrodynamic transport

D Svintsov - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Direct current in clean semiconductors and metals was recently shown to obey the laws of
hydrodynamics in a broad range of temperatures and sample dimensions. However, the …

Nonreciprocal and collimated surface plasmons in drift-biased graphene metasurfaces

D Correas-Serrano, JS Gomez-Diaz - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We explore the unusual nonreciprocal and diffractionless properties of surface plasmon
polaritons propagating in drift-biased graphene-based metasurfaces. We show that applying …

Dissipative drift instability of plasmons in a single-layer graphene

IM Moiseenko, DV Fateev, VV Popov - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We predict the plasmon instability associated with losses in hydrodynamic graphene with a
