The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials-based nanophotonics has been growing at a rapid pace, triggered by the ability to design nanophotonic systems with in situ control, unprecedented number degrees freedom, and build material heterostructures from bottom up atomic precision. A wide palette polaritonic classes have identified, comprising ultraconfined optical fields, even approaching char...

When impinging on optical structures or passing in their vicinity, free electrons can spontaneously emit electromagnetic radiation, a phenomenon generally known as cathodoluminescence. Free-electron radiation comes many guises: Cherenkov, transition, and Smith–Purcell but also electron scintillation, commonly referred to incoherent While those effects have been at the heart of fundamental disco...

Nanophotonics is an important branch of modern optics dealing with light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Nanoparticles can exhibit enhanced light absorption under illumination by light, and they become nanoscale sources heat that be precisely controlled manipulated. For metal nanoparticles, such effects have been studied in framework $\textit{thermoplasmonics}$ which, similar to plasmonics...
