Broadband Near-Field Imaging of Strong Polariton Coupling in Graphene/CrI3 Heterostructures

Abstract Interfacial charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures provides a powerful, contact-free mechanism to activate two-dimensional plasmons. Chromium iodide (CrI3), a layered ferromagnetic insulator, induces significant doping in adjacent graphene, yet its nanoscale p...

Sliding Disassembly of van der Waals Heterostructures

Abstract Many recent advances in our understanding of two-dimensional electron systems stem from van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. The assembly process relies on the weak bonding across interfaces between layered vdW compounds, making it possible to construct exceptionally cl...
