Quantum state-controlled directional spontaneous emission of photons into a nanophotonic waveguide
Transverse spin forces and non-equilibrium particle dynamics in a circularly polarized vacuum optical trap
Spin-momentum locked interaction between guided photons and surface electrons in topological insulators
Plasmonics of topological insulators at optical frequencies
We show that topological insulator crystals are an excellent plasmonic platform in the UV to near-IR part of the spectrum, thanks to the interplay of interband transitions and Drude-like response of metallic surface states. This opens up exciting opportunities for the integration of plasmonic, electronic and spintronic devices
