We explore the unusual electromagnetic response of ultrathin anisotropic σ-near-zero uniaxial metasurfaces, demonstrating extreme topological transitions--from closed elliptical to open hyperbolic--for surface plasmon propagation, associated with a dramatic tailoring of the local density of states. The proposed metasurfaces may be implemented using nanostructured graphene monolayers and open unprecedented venues for extreme light confinement and unusual propagation and guidance, combined with large tunability via electric bias.
我们探索了超薄各向异性σ近零单轴超表面的异常电磁响应,证明了表面等离激元传播存在从封闭椭圆到开放双曲线的极端拓扑转变,这与态密度的显著调控有关。所提出的超表面可以使用纳米结构的石墨烯单层来实现,并为极端光限制、异常传播和引导开辟了前所未有的途径,同时通过电偏置具有很大的可调性。
