A graphene sheet gated with a ridged ground plane, creating a soft-boundary (SB) graphene nanoribbon, is considered. By adjusting the ridge parameters and bias voltage a channel can be created on the graphene which can guide TM surface…
In this work we introduce a thermal magnetotorsional effect (TME) as a novel topological response in magnetic Weyl semimetals. We predict that magnetization gradients perpendicular to the Weyl node separation give rise to temperature…
Controlling the propagation and polarization vectors in linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy enables to probe the anisotropy of optical responses providing structural symmetry selective contrast in optical imaging. Here we present a…
We propose a mechanism of angular momentum conversion from optical transverse spin in surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to conduction electron spin. Free electrons in the metal follow the transversally spinning electric field of SPP, and…
The demonstration of enhanced spontaneous emission of nanoscaled optical emitters near metallic nanoparticles and the recent realization of a nanolaser based on surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (spaser)…
PrAlSi, a non-centrosymmetric ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal candidate with a Curie temperature of 17.8K, offers a unique platform for exploring the interplay of symmetry breaking and topological electronic structures. Up to now, the Weyl…
We consider a simple cubic array of metallic nanoparticles supporting extended collective plasmons that arise from the near-field dipolar interaction between localized surface plasmons in each nanoparticle. We develop a fully analytical…
We show that tilted Weyl semimetals with a spatially varying tilt of the Weyl cones provide a platform for studying analogues to problems in anisotropic optics as well as curved spacetime. Considering particular tilting profiles, we…
Nanostructured metamaterials, especially arrays of metallic nanoparticles which sustain the excitation of localized plasmon polaritons, provide excellent opportunities to mold the flow of light in the linear regime. We suggest a…
We investigate spontaneous entanglement of two qubits mediated by nonreciprocal surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a Weyl semimetal. In the absence of external magnetic fields, the topology of the Weyl semimetal even gives rise to…
The motivation to search for signatures of superconductivity in Weyl semi-metals and other topological phases lies in their potential for hosting exotic phenomena such as nonzero-momentum pairing or the Majorana fermion, a viable candidate…
We study the physics of a new type of subwavelength nanocavities. They are based on U-shaped metal-insulator-metal waveguides supporting the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons. The waveguides are simultaneously excited from both sides…
Orbital angular momentum associated with the helical phase-front of optical beams provides an unbounded \qo{space} for both classical and quantum communications. Among the different approaches to generate and manipulate orbital angular…
We analytically and numerically study the nonreciprocal surface waves guided by a magnetized metasurface tube. When applying the magnetic bias perpendicularly to the cylinder axis, the conductivity profile cross-section is nonuniform, which…
The random-phase-approximation semiclassical scheme for description of plasmon excitations in large metallic nanospheres, with radius range 10-60 nm, is formulated in an all-analytical version. The spectrum of plasmons is determined…
We report the suppression of loss of surface plasmon polariton propagating at the interface between silver film and optically pumped polymer with dye. Large magnitude of the effect enables a variety of applications of "active"…
Electron microscopy techniques such as electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) facilitate the spatio-spectral characterization of plasmonic nanostructures. In this work, a time-dependent perspective is presented, which significantly…
We study the electromagnetic (EM) response of the excitonic insulator phase of a time-reversal (TR) invariant Weyl semimetal (WSM). At low temperatures, the system develops two exciton condensates. The condensates are related to each other…
Ensembles of gold nanoparticles present a magnetic behavior which is at odds with the weakly diamagnetic response of bulk gold. In particular, an unusual ferromagnetic order has been unveiled by several experiments. Here we investigate if…
We reveal the nature of propagation and reflection of light in Weyl metals with broken time reversal symmetry, whose electromagnetic properties are described by axion electrodynamics. These Weyl metals turn out to play the role of a chiral…
