Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

For more than seven decades, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been employed as an
inert, thermally stable engineering ceramic; since 2010, it has also been used as the optimal …

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 …

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

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a broadly applicable, composition sensitive analytical
technique. By leveraging the high spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM), the …

The advent of nanotechnology, and the need to understand the chemical composition at the
nanoscale, has stimulated the convergence of IR and Raman spectroscopy with scanning …

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 …

Atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) is an emerging star of 2D materials. It is
taken as an optimal substrate for other 2D‐material‐based devices owing to its atomical …

Metasurfaces control light propagation at the nanoscale for applications in both free-space
and surface-confined geometries. However, dynamically changing the properties of …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been extensively used for the nanoscale
characterization of polymeric materials. The coupling of AFM with infrared spectroscope …
