Polaritonic Probe of an Emergent 2D Dipole Interface. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the use of work-function-mediated charge transfer for controlling the electrostatics of individual atomic layers, using α-RuCl as a 2D electron acceptor next to hexagonal boron nitride (BN).
  • It highlights how this arrangement induces unique nano-optical behavior in BN by causing interlayer charge polarization, resulting in a reduction of phonon polariton (PhP) propagation length significantly beyond intrinsic losses.
  • The findings are backed by advanced techniques like scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy and first-principles calculations, demonstrating the promising applications of charge-transfer heterostructures in enhancing the optoelectronic properties of 2D insulators.

Article Abstract

The use of work-function-mediated charge transfer has recently emerged as a reliable route toward nanoscale electrostatic control of individual atomic layers. Using α-RuCl as a 2D electron acceptor, we are able to induce emergent nano-optical behavior in hexagonal boron nitride (BN) that arises due to interlayer charge polarization. Using scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), we find that a thin layer of α-RuCl adjacent to an BN slab reduces the propagation length of BN phonon polaritons (PhPs) in significant excess of what can be attributed to intrinsic optical losses. Concomitant nano-optical spectroscopy experiments reveal a novel resonance that aligns energetically with the region of excess PhP losses. These experimental observations are elucidated by first-principles density-functional theory and near-field model calculations, which show that the formation of a large interfacial dipole suppresses out-of-plane PhP propagation. Our results demonstrate the potential utility of charge-transfer heterostructures for tailoring optoelectronic properties of 2D insulators.
