Plasmonic Polarization Sensing of Electrostatic Superlattice Potentials by Shuai Zhang, Jordan Fonseca, Daniel Bennett, Zhiyuan Sun, Junhe Zhang, Ran Jing, Suheng Xu, Leo He, S. L. Moore, S. E. Rossi, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, David Cobden, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, M. M. Fogler, Philip Kim, Efthimios Kaxiras, Xiaodong Xu, D. N. Basov

“…Therefore, plasmon polaritons are expected to be tuned when in proximity to polar materials since the carrier density is tuned by an electrostatic potential; conversely, the plasmon polariton response might enable the sensing of polarization. Here, we use infrared nanoimaging and nanophotocurrent measurements to investigate heterostructures composed of graphene and twisted hexagonal boron nitride (t-BN), with alternating polarization in a triangular network of moiré stacking domains. …”

The Effect of Activators on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Alkali-Activated Nickel Slag by Liwei Xu, Xuefang Wang, Can Guan, Wenda Wu, Lingling Zhang

“…Their microstructure, hydration components, and pore structure are analyzed by means of a scanning electron microscope, an energy-dispersive spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer, an infrared spectrometer, and a mercury analyzer. The results show that the AANS with an Na2SiO3/Na2CO3 activator has a denser microstructure, lower porosity, and a smaller pore size when compared with the AANS with the Na2SiO3 or NaOH activators. …”

Recent Advances in Graphene-Assisted Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing by Jian Wang, Xiao Hu

“…Due to the linear band structure allowing interband optical transitions at all photon energies, graphene has remarkably large third-order optical susceptibility χ(3), which is only weakly dependent on the wavelength in the near-infrared frequency range. The graphene-assisted four-wave mixing (FWM) based wavelength conversions have been experimentally demonstrated. …”
