Both plasmon-phonon-polariton (SPP-PHP) modes and phonon-polariton (PHP) modes supported in graphene-coated hexagon boron nitride (h-BN) single nanowire are presented. The field distributions of the lowest 5 order modes of SPP-PHP modes supported in graphene-coated hexagon boron nitride nanowire pairs (SPP-PHP-GHNP) and the lowest 5 order modes of PHP modes supported in graphene-coated hexagon boron nitride nanowire pairs (GHNP) are also demonstrated and analyzed, respectively. The results of numerical calculation show that SPP-PHP-GHNP mode 0 owns the strongest confinement and lowest loss among the lowest 5 order modes of SPP-PHP-GHNP. Furthermore, the field enhancement of SPP-PHP-GHNP mode 0 can reach over 10 by controlling the geometry parameters of GHNP. Meanwhile, the influence of tuning the Fermi level of graphene on the field enhancement is also presented in the paper. The proposed structure may improve the development of graphene-h-BN-based optoelectronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
