Photonic metasurfaces provide a new playground for twistronics

Phys.org  April 27, 2020
Hyperbolic metasurfaces (HMTSs) are known to support confined surface waves collimated toward specific directions determined by the metasurface dispersion. By rotating two evanescently coupled HMTSs with respect to one another, an international team of researchers (USA – University of New York, UT Austin, Singapore) unveil rich dispersion engineering, topological transitions at magic angles, broadband field canalization, and plasmon spin-Hall phenomena. These findings open remarkable opportunities to advance metasurface optics, enriching it with moiré physics and twistronic concepts…read more. TECHNICAL ARRTICLE

Moire lattices of photonic metasurfaces made of graphene nanoribbons also have a twist in the tale. Credit: ACS Nano Letters April 16, 2020 XXXX, XXX, XXX-XXX
