New techniques for probing hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPP) in 2D materials will support the development of the emerging technologies in this field. Previous reports have shown that it is possible for WSe2 monolayers in contact with the hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to generate HPP in the hBN via Raman scattering. In this paper, we set out new results on HPP Raman scattering induced in hBN by WSe2 and MoSe2 monolayers including new resonances at which the Raman scattering is enhanced. Analysis of the observed Raman lineshapes demonstrates that Raman scattering allows HPP with wavevectors with magnitudes significantly in excess of 15000 cm-1 to be probed. We present evidence that the Raman scattering can probe HPP with frequencies less than the expected lower bound on the Reststrahlen band suggesting new HPP physics still waits to be discovered.

The rise of quantum science and technologies motivates photonics research to seek new platforms with strong light-matter interactions to facilitate quantum behaviors at moderate light intensities. One promising platform to reach such strong light-mat
ter interacting regimes is offered by polaritonic metasurfaces, which represent ultrathin artificial media structured on nano-scale and designed to support polaritons - half-light half-matter quasiparticles. Topological polaritons, or topolaritons, offer an ideal platform in this context, with unique properties stemming from topological phases of light strongly coupled with matter. Here we explore polaritonic metasurfaces based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) supporting in-plane polarized exciton resonances as a promising platform for topological polaritonics. We enable a spin-Hall topolaritonic phase by strongly coupling valley polarized in-plane excitons in a TMD monolayer with a suitably engineered all-dielectric topological photonic metasurface. We first show that the strong coupling between topological photonic bands supported by the metasurface and excitonic bands in MoSe2 yields an effective phase winding and transition to a topolaritonic spin-Hall state. We then experimentally realize this phenomenon and confirm the presence of one-way spin-polarized edge topolaritons. Combined with the valley polarization in a MoSe2 monolayer, the proposed system enables a new approach to engage the photonic angular momentum and valley degree of freedom in TMDs, offering a promising platform for photonic/solid-state interfaces for valleytronics and spintronics.
Embedding a monolayer of a transition metal dichalcogenide in a high-Q optical cavity results in the formation of distinct exciton polariton modes. The polaritons are affected by the strong exciton-phonon interaction in the monolayer. We use a time c
onvolutionless master equation to calculate the phonon influence on the spectra of the polaritons. We discuss the non-trivial dependence of the line shapes of both branches on temperature and detuning. The peculiar polariton dispersion relation results in a linewidth of the lower polariton being largely independent of the coupling to acoustic phonons. For the upper polariton, acoustic phonons lead to a low-energy shoulder of the resonance in the linear response. Furthermore, we analyze the influence of inhomogeneous broadening being the dominant contribution to the lower polariton linewidth at low temperatures. Our results point towards interesting phonon features in polariton spectra in transition metal dichalcogenides.
The long wavelength moire superlattices in twisted 2D structures have emerged as a highly tunable platform for strongly correlated electron physics. We study the moire bands in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers, focusing on WSe$_2$
, at small twist angles using a combination of first principles density functional theory, continuum modeling, and Hartree-Fock approximation. We reveal the rich physics at small twist angles $theta<4^circ$, and identify a particular magic angle at which the top valence moire band achieves almost perfect flatness. In the vicinity of this magic angle, we predict the realization of a generalized Kane-Mele model with a topological flat band, interaction-driven Haldane insulator, and Mott insulators at the filling of one hole per moire unit cell. The combination of flat dispersion and uniformity of Berry curvature near the magic angle holds promise for realizing fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect at fractional filling. We also identify twist angles favorable for quantum spin Hall insulators and interaction-induced quantum anomalous Hall insulators at other integer fillings.
Intense light-matter interactions and unique structural and electrical properties make Van der Waals heterostructures composed by Graphene (Gr) and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) promising building blocks for tunnelling transistors,
flexible electronics, as well as optoelectronic devices, including photodetectors, photovoltaics and QLEDs, bright and narrow-line emitters using minimal amounts of active absorber material. The performance of such devices is critically ruled by interlayer interactions which are still poorly understood in many respects. Specifically, two classes of coupling mechanisms have been proposed: charge transfer (CT) and energy transfer (ET), but their relative efficiency and the underlying physics is an open question. Here, building on a time resolved Raman scattering experiment, we determine the electronic temperature profile of Gr in response to TMD photo-excitation, tracking the picosecond dynamics of the G and 2D bands. Compelling evidence for a dominant role ET process accomplished within a characteristic time of ~ 3 ps is provided. Our results suggest the existence of an intermediate process between the observed picosecond ET and the generation of a net charge underlying the slower electric signals detected in optoelectronic applications.
We develop a minimal theory for the recently observed metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two-dimensional (2D) moire multilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (mTMD) using Coulomb disorder in the environment as the underlying mechanism. In particul
ar, carrier scattering by random charged impurities leads to an effective 2D MIT approximately controlled by the Ioffe-Regel criterion, which is qualitatively consistent with the experiments. We find the necessary disorder to be around $5$-$10times10^{10}$cm$^{-2}$ random charged impurities in order to quantitatively explain much, but not all, of the observed MIT phenomenology as reported by two different experimental groups. Our estimate is consistent with the known disorder content in TMDs.
