Surface Phonon Polariton Modes in Suspended Monolayer Hexagonal Boron Nitrides

Dispersion properties and characteristics of transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) surface phonon polaritons (SPhP) in suspended monolayer hexagonal boron nitrides (hBN) was studied extensively. The analytical results show that the hBN based TM (TE) phonon polaritons exist in restsrahlen bands when imaginary surface conductivity is positive. The effective mode index of TM phonon polaritons is much higher than that of TE phonon polaritons with respective values of ~3000 and ~1.0002 which makes TM SPhP more promising in the practical realization. In addition, the propagation length of TE SPhP is less lossy and surpass that of TM SPhP by factor of 104. This study compares these important properties and sheds more insight into their applications in optical communications, photonics and optoelectronics devices.

Surface Phonon Polariton

AbstractWe demonstrate that the energy transport of surface phonon-polaritons can be large enough to be observable in a crystal made up of a three-dimensional assembly of nanorods of silicon carbide. The ultralow phonon thermal conductivity of this nanostructure along with its high surface area-to-volume ratio allows the predominance of the polariton energy over that generated by phonons. The dispersion relation, propagation length, and thermal conductance of polaritons are numerically determined as functions of the radius and temperature of the nanorods. It is shown that the thermal conductance of a crystal with nanorods at 500 K and diameter (length) of 200 nm (20 μm) is 0.55 nW·K−1, which is comparable to the quantum of thermal conductance of polar nanowires.

A dual-band microwave metamaterial absorber with single-peak regulation and wide-angle absorption has been proposed and illustrated. The designed metamaterial absorber is consisted of hollow-cross resonators, solid-cross resonators, dielectric substrate and metallic background plane. Strong absorption peak coefficients of 99.92% and 99.55% are achieved at 8.42 and 11.31 GHz, respectively, which is basically consistent with the experimental results. Surface current density and changing material properties are employed to illustrate the absorptive mechanism. More importantly, the proposed dual-band metamaterial absorber has the adjustable property of single absorption peak and could operate well at wide incidence angles for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Research results could provide and enrich instructive guidances for realizing a single-peak-regulation and wide-angle dual-band metamaterial absorber.

Plasmon Polaritons

Abstract We investigate numerically and experimentally the optical properties of the transverse electric (TE) waves supported by a dielectric-metal heterostructure. They are considered as the counterparts of the surface plasmon polaritons (i.e., the transverse magnetic (TM) waves) which have been extensively studied in the last several decades. We show that TE waves with resonant wavelengths in the visible light spectrum can be excited in a dielectric-metal heterostructure when the optical thickness of the dielectric layer exceeds a critical value. We reveal that the electric and magnetic field distributions for the TE waves are spatially separated, leading to higher quality factors or narrow linewidths as compared with the TM waves. We calculate the thickness, refractive index and incidence angle dispersion relations for the TE waves supported by a dielectric-metal heterostructure. In experiments, we observe optical resonances with linewidths as narrow as ∼10 nm in the reflection or scattering spectra of the TE waves excited in a Si3N4/Ag heterostructure. Finally, we demonstrate the applications of the lowest-order TE wave excited in a Si3N4/Ag heterostructure in optical display with good chromaticity and optical sensing with high sensitivity.
