Compared to artificially structured hyperbolic metamaterials, whose performance is limited
by the finite size of the metallic components, the sparse number of naturally hyperbolic …

We present a method based on the scattering T operator, and conservation of net real and
reactive power, to provide physical bounds on any electromagnetic design objective that can …

Exploring van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) based on two-dimensional (2D)
materials is of importance for designing new materials or tuning the properties of existing …

Diffraction optical spectra for a periodic array of bimetallic metamaterial bars, overlying a
dielectric substrate, are calculated and analysed within the Fourier formalism. The optical …

The physical properties and potential applications of two-dimensional (2D) materials can be
effectively modulated and enriched by constructing van der Waals heterostructures …

Radiative cooling films are energy-efficient devices widely used in several domestic and
industrial applications. To broaden its application in systems that require higher temperature …

A quantum mechanical approach and local response theory are applied to study plasmons
propagating in nanometer-thin gold slabs sandwiched between different dielectrics. The …

Self-assembled metamaterials attract considerable interest as they promise to make
isotropic bulk metamaterials available at low costs. The optical response of self-assembled …

Topological insulator semiconductors hold unique electronic transport characteristics that
allow them behave like graphene at the surface of the nanoscale thin film. Photonic …

Fast analysis of photonic crystals is important due to increasing demand in optical systems
that utilize photonic crystals as their subblocks. In this paper, we present a hybrid method …
