The excitation of surface-phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes in polar dielectric crystals and the
associated new developments in the field of SPhPs are reviewed. The emphasis of this work …

Here, we review the progress and most recent advances in phonon-polaritonics, an
emerging and growing field that has brought about a range of powerful possibilities for mid …

Graphene plasmons were predicted to possess simultaneous ultrastrong field confinement
and very low dam**, enabling new classes of devices for deep-subwavelength …

van der Waals heterostructures assembled from atomically thin crystalline layers of diverse
two-dimensional solids are emerging as a new paradigm in the physics of materials. We …

Strongly anisotropic media, where the principal components of the dielectric tensor have
opposite signs, are called hyperbolic. Such materials exhibit unique nanophotonic …

All known superfluid and superconducting states of condensed matter are enabled by
composite bosons (atoms, molecules and Cooper pairs) made of an even number of …

The anharmonic behavior of phonons and intrinsic thermal conductivity associated with the
umklapp scattering in monolayer MoS 2 sheet are investigated via first-principles …

The single-particle and many-body properties of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can be
dramatically different from those of a single graphene layer, particularly when the two layers …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a natural hyperbolic material, which can also
accommodate highly dispersive surface phonon-polariton modes. In this paper, we examine …

Terahertz (THz) fields are widely used for sensing, communication and quality control. In
future applications, they could be efficiently confined, enhanced and manipulated well below …
