Optical properties and plasmons in moiré structures

Published 18 Jan 2024 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci | (2401.09667v1)

Abstract: The discoveries of numerous exciting phenomena in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) are stimulating significant investigations on moir\'e structures that possess a tunable moir\'e potential. Optical response can provide insights into the electronic structures and transport phenomena of non-twisted and twisted moir\'e structures. In this article, we review both experimental and theoretical studies of optical properties such as optical conductivity, dielectric function, non-linear optical response, and plasmons in moir\'e structures composed of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and/or transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Firstly, a comprehensive introduction to the widely employed methodology on optical properties is presented. After, moir\'e potential induced optical conductivity and plasmons in non-twisted structures are reviewed, such as single layer graphene-hBN, bilayer graphene-hBN and graphene-metal moir\'e heterostructures. Next, recent investigations of twist-angle dependent optical response and plasmons are addressed in twisted moir\'e structures. Additionally, we discuss how optical properties and plasmons could contribute to the understanding of the many-body effects and superconductivity observed in moir\'e structures.
