Article Synopsis
  • Phonon polaritons are quasiparticles formed by the interaction of infrared light and lattice vibrations in polar materials, which can enhance infrared absorption through SEIRA spectroscopy.
  • * Researchers have developed a compact on-chip SEIRA spectroscopy platform using an h-BN/graphene/h-BN structure on a metal split-gate, effective at detecting molecular vibrational fingerprints with high sensitivity.
  • * The findings suggest that integrating infrared light sources could advance these sensors, enhancing molecular and gas sensing capabilities significantly.

The magnetic circular dichroism and the Faraday rotation are the fundamental phenomena of great practical importance arising from the breaking of the time reversal symmetry by a magnetic field. In most materials, the strength and the sign of these effects can be only controlled by the field value and its orientation. Furthermore, the terahertz range is lacking materials having the ability to affect the polarization state of the light in a non-reciprocal manner.

We employ tip-enhanced infrared near-field microscopy to study the plasmonic properties of epitaxial quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene on silicon carbide. The near-field images reveal propagating graphene plasmons, as well as a strong plasmon reflection at gaps in the graphene layer, which appear at the steps between the SiC terraces. When the step height is around 1.
