Graphene nanoribbon based spaser
Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. 2013. Vol. 88. No. 23. P. 235424.
A novel type of spaser with the net amplification of surface plasmons (SPs) in a doped graphene nanoribbon is proposed. The plasmons in the THz region can be generated in a doped graphene nanoribbon due to nonradiative excitation by emitters like two level quantum dots located along a graphene nanoribbon. The minimal population inversion per unit area, needed for the net amplification of SPs in a doped graphene nanoribbon, is obtained. The dependence of the minimal population inversion on the surface plasmon wave vector, graphene nanoribbon width, doping, and damping parameters necessary for the amplification of surface plasmons in the armchair graphene nanoribbon is studied.

Plasmon spectroscopy methods are highly sensitive to the small volumes of material due to subwavelength localization of light increasing light-matter interaction. Recent research has shown a high potential of plasmon quantum generator (spaser) or amplifier (sped) for sensing in the infrared optical region. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) molecules fingerprints are considered as an example. Basing on Lindblad ...

We propose an intracavity plasmon absorption spectroscopy method based on graphene active plasmonics. It is shown that the plasmonic cavity contribution to the sensitivity is proportional to the quality factor Q of the graphene plasmonic cavity and reaches two orders of magnitude. The addition of gain medium into the cavity increases the sensitivity of method. ...

The development of active and passive plasmonic devices is challenging due to the high level of dissipation in normal metals. One possible solution to this problem is using alternative materials. Graphene is a good candidate for plasmonics in the near-infrared region. In this paper, we develop a quantum theory of a graphene plasmon generator. We account for quantum correlations ...

We propose a method for high-sensitivity subwavelength spectromicroscopy based on the usage of a spaser (plasmonic nanolaser) in the form of a scanning probe microscope tip. The high spatial resolution is defined by plasmon localization at the tip, as is the case for apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy. In contrast to the latter method, we ...

Using the Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg-Majorana-type (LZSM) semiclassical approach, we study both graphene and a thin film of aWeyl semimetal subjected to a strong ac electromagnetic field. The spectrum of quasienergies in the Weyl semimetal turns out to be similar to that of a graphene sheet. It has been predicted qualitatively that the transport properties of strongly irradiated ...

Исследована модификация графенового листа, полученного методом химического газофазного осаждения на медной мелкоячеистой сетке, под действием мощного фемтосекундного лазерного излучения. Установлено, что процесс длительного облучения образца в вакууме сопровождается 1) разрывом углеродных связей, о чем свидетельствует уменьшение яркости рефлексов, отвечающих дифракции электронного пучка на графене, и 2) образованием новых продуктов, о чем свидетельствуют появление новых дифракционных ...

Plasma functionalization of graphene is one of the facile ways to tune its doping level without the
need for wet chemicals making graphene photoluminescent. Microscopic corrugations in the twodimensional
structure of bilayer CVD graphene having a quasi-free-suspended top layer, such as
graphene ripples, nanodomes, and bubbles, may significantly enhance local reactivity leading to
etching effects on exposure to plasma. ...

We demonstrate the instability of the normal state of purely repulsive fermionic systems towards the transition to the Kohn-Luttinger superconducting state. We construct the superconducting phase diagrams of these systems in the framework of the Hubbard and Shubin-Vonsovsky models on the square and hexagonal lattices.

We have measured the ultrafast anisotropic optical response of highly doped graphene to an intense single cycle terahertz pulse. The time profile of the terahertz-induced anisotropy signal at 800 nm has minima and maxima repeating those of the pump terahertz electric field modulus. It grows with increasing carrier density and demonstrates a specific nonlinear dependence ...

Supercapacitors based on carbon nanomaterials are attracting much attention because of their high capacitance enabled by large specific surface area. The introduction of heteroatoms such as N or O enhances the specific capacitance of these materials. However, the mechanisms that lead to the increase in the specific capacitance are not yet well-studied. In this Letter, we ...

The phase of quantum magneto-oscillations is often associated with the Berry phase and is widely used to
argue in favor of topological nontriviality of the system (Berry phase 2πn + π). Nevertheless, the experimentally
determined value may deviate from 2πn + π arbitrarily, therefore more care should be made analyzing the
phase of magneto-oscillations to distinguish trivial systems ...

Composites based on graphene and water-dispersible polyaniline-poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) complex were shown as materials promising for the development of hole transporting layers (HTLs). By using multimodal atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and conductivity measurements, the relationship between the oxidation degree of graphene and the morphology, electrical conductivity and electron energy structure of HTLs was revealed. Utilizing the ...

To find the mode frequency, the optical conductivity tensor of disordered graphene in a magnetic field is calculated in the self-consistent Born approximation, and the nonlocal electromagnetic problem is solved using the Wiener-Hopf method.

The rectification of electromagnetic waves to direct currents is a crucial process for energy harvesting, beyond-5G wireless communications, ultra-fast science, and observational astronomy. As the radiation frequency is raised to the sub-terahertz (THz) domain, ac-to-dc conversion by conventional electronics becomes challenging and requires alternative rectification protocols. Here, we address this challenge by tunnel field-effect transistors ...
