Collective excitations of charged particles under the influence of an electromagnetic field give rise to a rich variety of hybrid light-matter quasiparticles with unique properties. In metals, intraband collective response manifested by…
A lattice mismatch between Van der Waals layers produces a moir\'e pattern and a subsequent electron band reconstruction. When the bilayer is charged, the sliding motion of one layer with respect to the other produces electric pumping. Here…
