Dispersion equations are a common paradigm of collective excitation physics. However, in some systems, dispersion equations contain multivalued functions and their solutions are ambiguous. As an example, we consider graphene on a polar substrate where Dirac plasmons are coupled with surface optical phonons. The dispersion equation for this system c...

The grating-gate plasmonic crystal (GGPC) system, which incorporates a 2D electron gas (2DEG) within the AlGaN/GaN interface and integrates a grating-gate electrode, holds great potential for designing highly efficient and cost-effective devices in the Terahertz (THz) range. We investigate the influence of the grating filling factor on the electric...
We propose and demonstrate the concept of hybrid coherent control (CC) whereby a quantum or classical harmonic oscillator is excited by two excitations: one is quasiharmonic (i.e., harmonic with a finite lifetime) and the other is a pulsed broadband excitation. Depending on the phase relation between the two excitations, controlled by the detuning...

This study reviews recent advances in the modern field of terahertz plasmonics concerning the control of resonant properties of grating-gate plasmonic crystal structures. Particularly, we conducted both experimental and theoretical investigations of AlGaN/GaN grating-gate structures with a focus on investigations of the resonant structure of transm...
Reservoir computing is a concept involving mapping signals onto a high-dimensional phase space of a dynamical system called “reservoir” for subsequent recognition by an artificial neural network. We implement this concept in a nanodevice consisting of a sandwich of a semiconductor phonon waveguide and a patterned ferromagnetic layer. A pulsed write...
We present an extensive study of resonant two-dimensional (2D) plasmon excitations in grating-gated quantum well heterostructures, which enable an electrical control of periodic charge carrier density profile. Our study combines theoretical and experimental investigations of nanometer-scale AlGaN=GaN grating-gate structures and reveals that all ter...

Phonons and magnons are prospective information carriers to substitute the transfer of charge in nanoscale communication devices. Our ability to manipulate them at the nanoscale and with ultimate speed is examined by ultrafast acoustics and femtosecond optomagnetism, which use ultrashort laser pulses for generation and detection of the correspondin...

Strain engineering can be used to control the physical properties of two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) crystals. Coherent phonons, which carry dynamical strain, could push strain engineering to control classical and quantum phenomena in the unexplored picosecond temporal and nanometer spatial regimes. This intriguing approach requires the use...
This work presents micromagnetic simulations in ferromagnetic nanogratings for the full range of directions of an applied in-plane external magnetic field. We focus on the modification of the magnon mode characteristics when the magnetic field orientation is gradually changed between the classical Damon-Eshbach and backward-volume geometries. We fo...

The functionality of phonon-based quantum devices largely depends on the efficiency of the interaction of phonons with other excitations. For phonon frequencies above 20 GHz, generation and detection of the phonon quanta can be monitored through photons. The photon-phonon interaction can be enormously strengthened by involving an intermediate reson...

In nanoscale communications, high-frequency surface acoustic waves are becoming effective data carriers and encoders. On-chip communications require acoustic wave propagation along nanocorrugated surfaces which strongly scatter traditional Rayleigh waves. Here, we propose the delivery of information using subsurface acoustic waves with hypersound f...

Strong coupling between two quanta of different excitations leads to the formation of a hybridized state that paves a way for exploiting new degrees of freedom to control phenomena with high efficiency and precision. A magnon polaron is the hybridized state of a phonon and a magnon, the elementary quanta of lattice vibrations and spin waves in a ma...
Energy harvesting is a concept which makes dissipated heat useful by transferring thermal energy to other excitations. Most of the existing principles are realized in systems which are heated continuously. We present the concept of high-frequency energy harvesting where the dissipated heat in a sample excites resonant magnons in a thin ferromagneti...
Nonequilibrium transitions are investigated in a plane exciton-polariton system with complex acousto-optical excitation: stationary resonant optical excitation of polaritons along the normal to the surface of the resonator and picosecond strain pulses causing reversible exciton energy perturbations. It is shown that acoustic pulses can be used for...
The heat dissipated in electronic and optical devices limits their operation and requires technologies which provide efficient cooling. Energy harvesting is a modern concept which makes the dissipated heat useful by transferring thermal energy to other excitations. Most of the existing principles for energy harvesting are realized in systems which...
In the reported experiment, a picosecond strain pulse induces a sharp transition between the steady states in a bistable cavity-polariton system. The strain pulse of 10-ps duration, generated in the GaAs substrate and injected into a high-Q GaAs/AlAs microcavity, modulates the exciton resonance energies of the embedded quantum wells and correspondi...
A magnon polaron is the hybridized state of a phonon and a magnon, the elementary quanta of lattice vibrations and spin waves in a magnetically-ordered material. A magnon polaron can be formed at the intersection of the magnon and phonon dispersions, where their frequencies coincide. In spite of recent reports of magnon polarons in spintronic exper...

Solving the initial value problem for semiclassical equations that describe
two-dimensional electrons with the Dirac spectrum we found that collective
excitations of the electrons are composed by a few distinct components of the
oscillations. There always exist sustained plasma oscillations with well known
plasmon frequency $\omega_{pl}(k)$. Additi...
High-frequency response of a system with drifting electrons in a highly doped
graphene and surface polar optical phonons of a polar substrate is considered.
For this interacting system, we obtained a dielectric function, frequencies and
decrement/increment of cooperative plasmon-optical phonon oscillations. We
found, that the response is significan...
A hybrid system composed of an isotropic nanoparticle and a semiconductor
heterostructure with a quantum well has been considered. The nanoparticle is
supposed to be polarizable in an external electric field. A theoretical model
of the hybrid system is substantiated and formulated. Exact solutions of the
model equations are obtained. The frequencie...
We studied the hybrid system composed of a polarizable nanoparticle and a quantum well. For coupled oscillations of dipole excitations of the nanoparticle and two-dimensional electron gas, we determined frequencies and damping of the Landau-type. We found that under the drift of two-dimensional electrons, electrostatic coupling between the nanopart...
This article is devoted to the study of the interaction of drifting two-dimensional electrons and a remote molecule. The interaction of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with a remote dipole at three possible orientations of the latter is considered. The dispersion equation for joint oscillations of the 2DEG and a dipole is deduced, and the a...
