Atomically layered materials for next-generation metasurfaces
Atomically layered materials composed of individual atomic planes bonded together by weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions have sparked a revolution in solid state physics due to their unique electronic properties and capability for forming multi-material heterostructures with atomically sharp interfaces. However, accessing fundamental electronic excitations of two-dimensional (2D) materials optically has so far been a major challenge due to the associated low absorption cross sections and their low environmental stability. METANEXT will establish a new paradigm for amplifying and harnessing light-matter interactions in 2D materials by shaping vdW heterostructures into the resonant building…
