For more than seven decades, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been employed as an
inert, thermally stable engineering ceramic; since 2010, it has also been used as the optimal …

Optical metamaterials have presented an innovative method of manipulating light.
Hyperbolic metamaterials have an extremely high anisotropy with a hyperbolic dispersion …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

Polaritons—hybrid light–matter excitations—enable nanoscale control of light. Particularly
large polariton field confinement and long lifetimes can be found in graphene and materials …

Manipulating the properties of the isofrequency contours (IFCs) of materials provides a
