In recent years, enhanced light–matter interactions through a plethora of dipole-type
polaritonic excitations have been observed in two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. In …

We review the electronic properties of bilayer graphene, beginning with a description of the
tight-binding model of bilayer graphene and the derivation of the effective Hamiltonian …

Synchrotron sources with high photon flux, small source size, and broad energy range have
revolutionized ultrafine characterization of condensed matter. With the addition of the …

The non-equilibrium control of emergent phenomena in solids is an important research
frontier, encompassing effects such as the optical enhancement of superconductivity …

In recent years, we have seen a rapid progress in the field of graphene plasmonics,
motivated by graphene's unique electrical and optical properties, tunability, long-lived …

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 …

In this review, we highlight recent progress (2008–2016) in infrared reflection absorption
spectroscopy (IRRAS) studies on oxide powders achieved by using different types of metal …

We demonstrate that optical transparency of any two-dimensional system with a symmetric
electronic spectrum is governed by the fine structure constant and suggest a simple formula …

The importance of controlling both the charge carrier density and the band gap of a
semiconductor cannot be overstated, as it opens the doors to a wide range of applications …

Spectroscopic studies of electronic phenomena in graphene are reviewed. A variety of
methods and techniques are surveyed, from quasiparticle spectroscopies (tunneling …
