Abstract
We report applications of monolayer and multilayer Van der Waals (vdW) materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), for enhanced and enriched light-matter interactions in topological metasurfaces. First, we show that one can selectively couple spin-polarized edge modes to the valley-polarized excitons in monolayer TMDCs. The resultant exciton-polaritons allow a directional transfer of the valley degree of freedom and spin of excitons. Second, we demonstrate that a similar approach can be applied to phonons in mid-infrared domain, and the transverse vibrations in an hBN film are directionally guided in a resilient manner, avoiding backscattering due to defects.
