Natural hyperbolic two-dimensional systems are a fascinating class of materials that could open alternative pathways to the manipulation of plasmon propagation and light-matter interactions. Here, we present a comprehensive study of the optical response in T$_d,$-WTe$_2$ by means of density-functional and many-body perturbation theories. We show how monolayer WTe$_2$ with in-plane anisotropy sustains hyperbolic plasmon polaritons, which can be tuned via chemical doping and strain. The latter is able to extend the hyperbolic regime toward the near infrared with low losses. Moreover, with a moderate strain, WTe$_2$ can even be switched between elliptic and hyperbolic regimes. In addition, plasmons in WTe$_2$ are characterized by low losses owing to electron-phonon scattering, which is responsible for the temperature dependence of the plasmon line width. Interestingly, the temperature can also be utilized to tune the in-plane anisotropy of the WTe$_2$ optical response.

We propose a scheme to obtain a low-loss propagation of Airy surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the interface between a dielectric and a negative-index metamaterial (NIMM). We show that, by using the transverse-magnetic mode and the related dest
ructive interference effect between electric and magnetic absorption responses, the propagation loss of the Airy SPPs can be largely suppressed when the optical frequency is close to the lossless point of the NIMM. As a result, the Airy SPPs obtained in our scheme can propagate more than 6-time long distance than that in conventional dielectric-metal interfaces.
The effects of spin-orbit (SOC) and electron-phonon coupling on the collective excitation of doped monolayer Sb$_2$ are investigated using density functional and many-body perturbation theories. The spin-orbit coupling is exclusively important for th
e monolayer Sb$_2$ and it leads to the reconstruction of the electronic band structure. In particular, plasmon modes of monolayer Sb$_2$ are quite sensitive to the SOC and are characterized by very low damping rates owing to small electron-phonon scatterings. Our results show plasmons in antimonene are significantly less damped compared to monolayer graphene when plasmon energies are $hbar omega> 0.2$ eV due to smaller plasmon-phonon coupling in the former material.
Conventional optical components are limited to size-scales much larger than the wavelength of light, as changes in the amplitude, phase and polarization of the electromagnetic fields are accrued gradually along an optical path. However, advances in n
anophotonics have produced ultra-thin, co-called flat optical components that beget abrupt changes in these properties over distances significantly shorter than the free space wavelength. While high optical losses still plague many approaches, phonon polariton (PhP) materials have demonstrated long lifetimes for sub-diffractional modes in comparison to plasmon-polariton-based nanophotonics. We experimentally observe a three-fold improvement in polariton lifetime through isotopic enrichment of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Commensurate increases in the polariton propagation length are demonstrated via direct imaging of polaritonic standing waves by means of infrared nano-optics. Our results provide the foundation for a materials-growth-directed approach towards realizing the loss control necessary for the development of PhP-based nanophotonic devices.
Two-dimensional crystals of semimetallic van der Waals materials hold much potential for the realization of novel phases, as exemplified by the recent discoveries of a polar metal in few layer 1T-WTe$_2$ and of a quantum spin Hall state in monolayers
of the same material. Understanding these phases is particularly challenging because little is known from experiment about the momentum space electronic structure of ultrathin crystals. Here, we report direct electronic structure measurements of exfoliated mono-, bi-, and few-layer 1T-WTe$_2$ by laser-based micro-focus angle resolved photoemission. This is achieved by encapsulating with monolayer graphene a flake of WTe$_2$ comprising regions of different thickness. Our data support the recent identification of a quantum spin Hall state in monolayer 1T-WTe$_2$ and reveal strong signatures of the broken inversion symmetry in the bilayer. We finally discuss the sensitivity of encapsulated samples to contaminants following exposure to ambient atmosphere.
We report on a theoretical study of collective electronic excitations in single-layer antimony crystals (antimonene), a novel two-dimensional semiconductor with strong spin-orbit coupling. Based on a tight-binding model, we consider electron-doped an
timonene and demonstrate that the combination of spin-orbit effects with external bias gives rise to peculiar plasmon excitations in the mid-infrared spectral range. These excitations are characterized by low losses and negative dispersion at frequencies effectively tunable by doping and bias voltage. The observed behavior is attributed to the spin-splitting of the conduction band, which induces interband resonances, affecting the collective excitations. Our findings open up the possibility to develop plasmonic and optoelectronic devices with high tunability, operating in a technologically relevant spectral range.
