Optical signatures of Dirac nodal lines in NbAs2.

Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Using polarized optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy, we have demonstrated universal aspects of electrodynamics associated with Dirac nodal lines that are found in several classes of unconventional intermetallic compounds. We investigated anisotropic electrodynamics of [Formula: see text] where the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) triggers energy gaps...

Optical Conductivity of Two-Dimensional Silicon: Evidence of Dirac Electrodynamics.

Published in Nano letters

The exotic electrodynamics properties of graphene come from the linearly dispersive electronic bands that host massless Dirac electrons. A similar behavior was predicted to manifest in freestanding silicene, the silicon counterpart of graphene, thereby envisaging a new route for silicon photonics. However, the access to silicene exploitation in pho...

Optically Unraveling the Edge Chirality-Dependent Band Structure and Plasmon Damping in Graphene Edges.

Published in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)

The nontrivial topological origin and pseudospinorial character of electron wavefunctions make edge states possess unusual electronic properties. Twenty years ago, the tight-binding model calculation predicted that zigzag termination of 2D sheets of carbon atoms have peculiar edge states, which show potential application in spintronics and modern i...

Unsaturated Drift Velocity of Monolayer Graphene.

Published in Nano letters

We observe that carriers in graphene can be accelerated to the Fermi velocity without heating the lattice. At large Fermi energy | EF| > 110 meV, electrons excited by a high-power terahertz pulse ETHz relax by emitting optical phonons, resulting in heating of the graphene lattice and optical-phonon generation. This is owing to enhanced electron-pho...

Universal linear and nonlinear electrodynamics of a Dirac fluid.

A general relation is derived between the linear and second-order nonlinear ac conductivities of an electron system in the hydrodynamic regime of frequencies below the interparticle scattering rate. The magnitude and tensorial structure of the hydrodynamic nonlinear conductivity are shown to differ from their counterparts in the more familiar kinet...

New 2D graphene hybrid composites as an effective base element of optical nanodevices.

Published in Beilstein journal of nanotechnology

For the first time, we estimated perspectives for using a new 2D carbon nanotube (CNT)-graphene hybrid nanocomposite as a base element of a new generation o optical nanodevices. The 2D CNT-graphene hybrid nanocomposite was modelled by two graphene monolayers between which single-walled CNTs with different diameters were regularly arranged at differ...
