(Phys.org) —A team of researchers working in Spain has developed an improved way to control surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in graphene. In their paper published in the journal Science, the team describes their new technique ...
Light can trigger coordinated, wavelike motions of atoms in atom-thin layers of crystal, scientists have shown. The waves, called phonon polaritons, are far shorter than light waves and can be "tuned" to particular frequencies ...
