TL;DR: It is demonstrated that layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provide an answer to this quest owing to their fundamental differences between intralayer strong covalent bonding and weak interlayer van der Waals interaction enabling an avenue for on-chip next-generation photonics.

TL;DR: This work shows that copper and silver protected by graphene are viable candidates for plasmonic materials and uses the graphene-protected copper to demonstrate dielectric loaded plAsmonic waveguides and test sensitivity of surface Plasmon resonances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that copper and silver are viable candidates for plasmonic applications, covered with one to a few graphene layers, surpassing those of gold films.

TL;DR: This work presents what it believes to be the first experimental study of the optical response of collective plasmon resonances in regular arrays of nanoresonators to local environment and shows that the phase sensitivity of the collective resonances can be more than 2 orders of magnitude better than the best amplitude sensitivity ofthe same nanodot array.
