Phonon-polaritonics: enabling powerful capabilities for infrared photonics (2019, background): “Conversely, the essential building blocks relevant to IR photonics would be highly confined photonic modes around planar interfaces or micron/sub-micron particles of pertinent IR material like alternative IR plasmonic materials [3, 56, 57] or PhP material which is the subject of this review.”
Review of mid-infrared plasmonic materials (2015, background): “offer opportunities for engineering LSP resonances not available with traditional plasmonic metals.(60,61) A direct comparison of materials for LSP applications, however, might seem non-trivial, given the wide variety of sizes and geometries (shells,(5,62) cubes,(63) crosses,(64) rods,(55) spheres,(”
Vanadium Dioxide as a Natural Disordered Metamaterial: Perfect Thermal Emission and Large Broadband Negative Differential Thermal Emittance (2013, unknown): “Both highly doped semiconductors and transparent conducting oxides have been shown to possess complex refractive indices similar to that of sapphire at 1⁄4 10–15 m (or metals in the visible or UV), and both can be engineered by modulating the doping [42] and are thus ideal candidate substrates for t”
