Materials for hot carrier plasmonics [Invited]
While the field of plasmonics has grown significantly in recent years, the relatively high losses and limited material choices have remained a challenge for the development of many device concepts. The decay of plasmons into hot carrier excitations is one of the main loss mechanisms; however, this process offers an opportunity for the direct utilization of loss if excited carriers can be collec...

متن کاملAnisotropic 2D Materials for Tunable Hyperbolic Plasmonics.
Motivated by the recent emergence of a new class of anisotropic 2D materials, we examine their electromagnetic modes and demonstrate that a broad class of the materials can host highly directional hyperbolic plasmons. Their propagation direction can be manipulated on the spot by gate doping, enabling hyperbolic beam reflection, refraction, and bending. The realization of these natural 2D hyperb...
متن کاملUltrafast Hot Carrier Dynamics in Materials from Ab Initio Calculations
!!!!!How does an excited electron lose its energy? This problem is central in fields ranging from condensed matter physics to electrical engineering and energy. We developed and applied calculations to study the dynamics of out-of-equilibrium charge carriers – also known as hot carriers (HCs) – in semiconductors and metals [1–3]. We present ab initio calculations of electron-phonon, electron-el...
متن کاملPlasmonics in atomically thin materials.
The observation and electrical manipulation of infrared surface plasmons in graphene have triggered a search for similar photonic capabilities in other atomically thin materials that enable electrical modulation of light at visible and near-infrared frequencies, as well as strong interaction with optical quantum emitters. Here, we present a simple analytical description of the optical response ...
