Recent experiments (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50, 2085 (2011)) have demonstrated that the optical transmission through an array of subwavelength holes in a metal film can be enhanced by the intentional presence of dyes in the system. As the transmission maxima occurs spectrally close to the absorption resonances of the dyes, this phenomenon was christened Absorption Induced Transparency. Here, a theoretical study on Absorption Induced Transparency is presented. The results show that the appearance of transmission maxima requires that the absorbent fills the holes and that it occurs also for single holes. Furthermore, it is shown that the transmission process is non-resonant, being composed by a sequential passage of the EM field through the hole. Finally, the physical origin of the phenomenon is demonstrated to be non-plasmonic, which implies that Absorption Induced Transparency should also occur at the infrared or Terahertz frequency regimes.

Contrary to what might be expected, when an organic dye is sputtered onto an opaque holey metal film, transmission bands can be observed at the absorption energies of the molecules. This phenomenon, known as absorption-induced transparency, is aided
by a strong modification of the propagation properties of light inside the holes when filled by the molecules. Despite having been initially observed in metallic structures in the optical regime, new routes for investigation and applications at different spectral regimes can be devised. Here, in order to illustrate the potential use of absorption induced transparency at terahertz, a method for molecular detection is presented, supported by a theoretical analysis.
As devices are reduced in size, interfaces start to dominate electrical transport making it essential to be able to describe reliably how they transmit and reflect electrons. For a number of nearly perfectly lattice-matched materials, we calculate fr
om first-principles the dependence of the interface transparency on the crystal orientation. Quite remarkably, the largest anisotropy is predicted for interfaces between the prototype free-electron materials silver and aluminium for which a massive factor of two difference between (111) and (001) interfaces is found.
Motivated by the importance of understanding competing mechanisms to current-induced spin-orbit torque in complex magnets, we develop a unified theory of current-induced spin-orbital coupled dynamics. The theory describes angular momentum transfer be
tween different degrees of freedom in solids, e.g., the electron orbital and spin, the crystal lattice, and the magnetic order parameter. Based on the continuity equations for the spin and orbital angular momenta, we derive equations of motion that relate spin and orbital current fluxes and torques describing the transfer of angular momentum between different degrees of freedom. We then propose a classification scheme for the mechanisms of the current-induced torque in magnetic bilayers. Based on our first-principles implementation, we apply our formalism to two different magnetic bilayers, Fe/W(110) and Ni/W(110), which are chosen such that the orbital and spin Hall effects in W have opposite sign and the resulting spin- and orbital-mediated torques can compete with each other. We find that while the spin torque arising from the spin Hall effect of W is the dominant mechanism of the current-induced torque in Fe/W(110), the dominant mechanism in Ni/W(110) is the orbital torque originating in the orbital Hall effect of W. It leads to negative and positive effective spin Hall angles, respectively, which can be directly identified in experiments. This clearly demonstrates that our formalism is ideal for studying the angular momentum transfer dynamics in spin-orbit coupled systems as it goes beyond the spin current picture by naturally incorporating the spin and orbital degrees of freedom on an equal footing. Our calculations reveal that, in addition to the spin and orbital torque, other contributions such as the interfacial torque and self-induced anomalous torque within the ferromagnet are not negligible in both material systems.
Two-dimensional atomic crystals (2DACs) can be mechanically assembled with precision for the fabrication of heterostructures, allowing for the combination of material building blocks with great flexibility. In addition, while conventional nanolithogr
aphy can be detrimental to most of the 2DACs which are not sufficiently inert, mechanical assembly potentially minimizes the nanofabrication processing and preserves the intrinsic physical properties of the 2DACs. In this work we study the interfacial charge transport between various 2DACs and electrical contacts, by fabricating and characterizing 2DAC-superconductor junctions through mechanical transfer. Compared to devices fabricated with conventional nanolithography, mechanically assembled devices show comparable or better interface transparency. Surface roughness at the electrical contacts is identified to be a major limitation to the interface quality.
Graphene and other two-dimensional materials display remarkable optical properties, including a simple light transparency of $T approx 1 - pi alpha$ for light in the visible region. Most theoretical rationalizations of this universal opacity employ a
model coupling light to the electrons crystal momentum and put emphasis on the linear dispersion of the graphene bands. However, such a formulation of interband absorption is not allowable within band structure theory, because it conflates the crystal momentum label with the canonical momentum operator. We show that the physical origin of the optical behavior of graphene can be explained within a straightforward picture with the correct use of canonical momentum coupling. Its essence lies in the two-dimensional character of the density of states rather than in the precise dispersion relation, and therefore the discussion is applicable to other systems such as semiconductor membranes. At higher energies the calculation predicts a peak corresponding to a van Hove singularity as well as a specific asymmetry in the absorption spectrum of graphene, in agreement with previous results.
