Abstract
In this paper, we present a new type of isolator based on one-way surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) at microwave frequencies, and it is the first time that an experimental prototype of isolator with wideband and ultra-high isolation is realized using SMP waveguide. The proposed model with gyromagnetic and dielectric layers is systematically analyzed to obtain the dispersion properties of all the possible modes, and a one-way SMP mode is found to have the unidirectional transmission property. In simulation and experiment with metallic waveguide loaded with yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) ferrite, the scattering parameters and the field distributions agree well with the analysis and verify the one-way transmission property. The isolation is found to be as high as 80 dB and the typical value of insertion loss is 1 dB. Besides, the one-way transmission band can be controlled by changing the magnetic bias. From theoretical analysis and simulation, it is found that with a tiny value of 10 Oe of the magnetic bias, the relative bandwidth can be tuned to be greater than 50%. Compared with conventional isolators, this one-way SMP isolator has the advantages of ultra-high isolation, wide relative frequency band, and requires much smaller bias field, which has promising potential in non-reciprocal applications.

Abstract
Metasurfaces are capable of fully reshaping the wavefronts of incident beams in desired manners. However, the requirement for external light excitation and the resonant nature of their meta-atoms, make challenging their on-chip integration. Here, we introduce the concept and design of a fresh class of metasurfaces, driven by unidirectional guided waves, capable of arbitrary wavefront control based on the unique dispersion properties of unidirectional guided waves rather than resonant meta-atoms. Upon experimentally demonstrating the feasibility of our designs in the microwave regime, we numerically validate the introduced principle through the design of several microwave meta-devices using metal-air-gyromagnetic unidirectional surface magneto-plasmons, agilely converting unidirectional guided modes into the wavefronts of 3D Bessel beams, focused waves, and controllable vortex beams. We, further, numerically demonstrate sub-diffraction focusing, which is beyond the capability of conventional metasurfaces. Our unfamiliar yet practical designs may enable full, broadband manipulation of electromagnetic waves on deep subwavelength scales.

Abstract
Topological photonic crystals, which offer topologically protected and back-scattering-immune transport channels, have recently gained significant attention for both scientific and practical reasons. Although most current studies focus on dielectric materials with weak dispersions, this study focuses on topological phases in dispersive materials and presents a numerical study of Chern insulators in gaseous-phase plasma cylinder cells. We develop a numerical framework to address the complex material dispersion arising from the plasma medium and external magnetic fields and identify Chern insulator phases that are experimentally achievable. Using this numerical tool, we also explain the flat bands commonly observed in periodic plasmonic structures, via local resonances, and how edge states change as the edge termination is periodically modified. This work opens up opportunities for exploring band topology in new materials with non-trivial dispersions and has potential radio frequency (RF) applications, ranging from plasma-based lighting to plasma propulsion engines.

Abstract
Unidirectional surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have been proven to truly exist at an interface between a magnetized semiconductor and an opaque isotropic material, however, they suffer rather serious leakage loss (with propagation length shorter than two wavelengths) caused by nonlocality. In this work, we investigate an alternative category of unidirectional SPPs existing on a nonreciprocal plasmonic platform with a cladding composed of a dielectric heterostructure transversely terminated by metal. This unidirectional SPP mode exists for small wavenumbers within the entire upper bulk-mode bandgap of the magnetized semiconductor, hence it is robust against nonlocal effects over a broad band. In contrast to previous unidirectional SPPs, the leakage loss of the present unidirectional SPPs is significantly reduced by more than five times, since the portion of modal energy distributed in the cladding is substantially increased. A similar reduction in absorption losses associated with semiconductor dissipation is observed. Though the nonlocality induces a backward-propagating SPP with extremely large wavenumbers, it can be suppressed even at very small level of dissipation. Therefore, our proposed plasmonic waveguide actually exhibits exceptional unidirectional characteristics.

Abstract
The unidirectional flow of electrons that takes place in a conventional electronic diode has been a cornerstone in the development of the field of electronics. Achieving an equivalent one-way flow for light has been a long-standing problem. While a number of concepts have been suggested recently, attaining a unidirectional flow of light in a two-port system (e.g., a waveguiding configuration) is still challenging. Here, we present what we believe to be a novel approach for breaking reciprocity and achieving one-way flow of light. Taking a nanoplasmonic waveguide as an example, we show that a combination of time-dependent interband optical transitions, when in systems exhibiting a backward wave flow, can yield light transmission strictly in one direction. In our configuration, the energy flow is unidirectional: light is fully reflected in one direction of propagation, and is unperturbed in the other. The concept can find use in a range of applications including communications, smart windows, thermal radiation management, and solar energy harvesting.

Abstract
In recent years there has been a great interest in topological materials and in their fascinating properties. Topological band theory was initially developed for condensed matter systems, but it can be readily applied to arbitrary wave platforms with few modifications. Thus, the topological classification of optical systems is usually regarded as being mathematically equivalent to that of condensed matter systems. Surprisingly, here we find that both the particle-hole symmetry and the dispersive nature of nonreciprocal photonic materials may lead to situations where the usual topological methods break down and the Chern topology becomes ill defined. It is shown that due to the divergence of the density of photonic states in plasmonic systems the gap Chern numbers can be noninteger notwithstanding that the relevant parametric space is compact. In order that the topology of a dispersive photonic crystal is well defined, it is essential to take into account the nonlocal effects in the bulk materials. We propose two different regularization methods to fix the encountered problems. Our results highlight that the regularized topologies may depend critically on the response of the bulk materials for large k.

Abstract
Plasmon resonances of metal nanocrystals resulted from free electrons oscillating around nanocrystals, leading to a strong electromagnetic field around them. Because these oscillating electrons possess higher energy than the original ones, also known as hot electrons, these were widely used as photocatalysts for various reactions. Also, the strength and distribution of the electromagnetic field around the nanocrystals strongly depended on their morphology and excited irradiation, which led to the reaction environment around nanocrystals being controllable. Here, we integrated the seed-mediated and plasmon-mediated photochemistry methods for fabricating bimetallic and semiconductor-metal nanocrystals with controllable morphologies and compositions of the nanocrystals, resulting from the highly anisotropic reaction environment around the nanocrystals. The highly anisotropic reaction environment around the template nanocrystal was caused by the distribution of electromagnetic fields around it and its exposure area in the reaction solution. This new synthesis method should enable the fabrication of various multicomponent nanocrystals with desirable functions for potential applications, such as photocatalysts, chemical sensors, biosensors, biomedicines, etc.

Abstract
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterial with the relative permittivity approaching zero has been a hot research topic for decades. The wave in the ENZ region has infinite phase velocity (v=1/ε μ), but it cannot efficiently travel into the other devices or air due to the impedance mismatch or near-zero group velocity. In this paper, we demonstrate that the tunable index-near-zero (INZ) modes with vanishing wavenumbers (k = 0) and nonzero group velocities (vg ≠ ~0) can be achieved in nonreciprocal magneto-optical systems. The INZ modes have been experimentally demonstrated in the photonic crystals at Dirac point frequencies, and that impedance-matching effect has been observed as well [Nat. Commun.8, 14871 (2017)10.1038/ncomms14871]. Our theoretical analysis reveals that the INZ modes exhibit tunability when changing the parameters of the one-way (nonreciprocal) waveguides. Moreover, owing to the zero-phase-shift characteristic and decreasing vg of the INZ modes, several perfect optical buffers are proposed in the microwave and terahertz regimes. The theoretical results are further verified by the numerical simulations using the finite element method. Our findings may open new avenues for research in the areas of ultra-strong or -fast nonlinearity, perfect cloaking, high-resolution holographic imaging, and wireless communications.

Abstract
By D-arginine and L-arginine chiral peptides induced spin selectivity and Au NPs enhanced spin polarization, chiral peptides purification has been effectively simplified and the purification performance has raised from a mixture system. The angular momentums of light are operated by the polarizer and wave plates. Au NPs decorated ZnO nanorods electrodes are utilized to modulate the polarization of spintronic. Seed growth methods are for synthesizing spherical Au NPs. UV light reduction methods are for urchin-liked Au NPs. Au NPs are decorated on ZnO nanorods electrodes for rising photon to electron conversion efficiency and enhancing spin polarization rates by surface plasmon effect. From our results, photon to the electron conversion efficiency of ZnO nanorods electrodes has effectively enhanced by urchin-liked Au NPs decorating. Ultrahigh localized plasmon conversion efficiency as high as 60% was also obtained. Besides, density functional theory (DFT) calculations simulated the force on spintronic. Since the D-arginine and L-arginine are on Au substrate, DFT results demonstrate different angular momentum and spin polarization coupling. Along with urchin-liked Au NPs rising chiral induced spin polarization by surface plasmon resonance, the sensitivity of chiral arginine has been raised around 5000% from bare ZnO nanorods electrodes. The purification and separation time of a specific chiral arginine only needs 5 min.

Abstract
We have theoretically investigated surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) in a waveguide consisting of a uniaxial μ-near-zero (UMNZ) material slab sandwiched between two ferrite materials with opposite remanences. It is shown that this waveguide can support robust unidirectional SMP (USMP), whose electric field extends almost uniformly in the UMNZ layer, hence USMP can acquire modal sizes far larger than the wavelength. We have demonstrated that such large-area USMP (LUSMP) provides many degrees of freedom to manipulate waves. Using LUSMP, waves can be completely trapped with hot spots of wavelength size.

Abstract
The electrostatic theory of surface magnetoplasmons on a semi-infinite magnetized electron gas is generalized to mixed Faraday-Voigt configurations. We analyze a mixed Faraday-Voigt type of electrostatic surface waves that is strongly direction-dependent, and may be realized on narrow-gap semiconductors in the THz regime. A general expression for the dispersion relation is presented, with its dependence on the magnitude and orientation of the applied magnetic field. Remarkably, the group velocity is always perpendicular to the phase velocity. Both velocity and energy relations of the found magnetoplasmons are discussed in detail. In the appropriate limits the known surface magnetoplasmons in the higher-symmetry Faraday and Voigt configurations are recovered.

Abstract
Metals, semiconductors, metamaterials, and various two-dimensional materials with plasmonic dispersion exhibit numerous exotic physical effects in the presence of an external bias, for example an external static magnetic field or electric current. These physical phenomena range from Faraday rotation of light propagating in the bulk to strong confinement and directionality of guided modes on the surface and are a consequence of the breaking of Lorentz reciprocity in these systems. The recent introduction of relevant concepts of topological physics, translated from condensed-matter systems to photonics, has not only given a new perspective on some of these topics by relating certain bulk properties of plasmonic media to the surface phenomena, but has also led to the discovery of new regimes of truly unidirectional, backscattering-immune, surface-wave propagation. In this article, we briefly review the concepts of nonreciprocity and topology and describe their manifestation in plasmonic materials. Furthermore, we use these concepts to classify and discuss the different classes of guided surface modes existing on the interfaces of various plasmonic systems.

Abstract
We demonstrate a novel path to localizing topologically nontrivial photonic edge modes along their propagation direction. Our approach is based on the near-conservation of the photonic valley degree of freedom associated with valley-polarized edge states. When the edge state is reflected from a judiciously oriented mirror, its optical energy is localized at the mirror surface because of an extended time delay required for valley index flipping. The degree of energy localization at the resulting topology-controlled photonic cavity is determined by the valley-flipping time, which is in turn controlled by the geometry of the mirror. Intuitive analytic descriptions of the "leaky" and closed topology-controlled photonic cavities are presented, and two specific designs-one for the microwave and the other for the optical spectral ranges-are proposed.

Abstract
We theoretically investigate an controlled unidirectional reflectionlessness and near perfect absorption by applying external voltage in an electro-optical plasmonic waveguide system based on near-field coupling between two resonators. The system consists of two resonators side coupled to a metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguide. Based on the numerical simulation, when external voltage is U = 7.4 V, the reflections for forward and backward directions are close to 0 and 0.82 at frequency 144.18 THz, while the reflections for forward and backward directions are close to 0.81 and 0 at frequency 150.86 THz when external voltage is U = 1.5 V. And the high absorption for forward (backward) direction is ∼0.97 (∼0.99) at frequency 144.18 THz (150.86 THz).

Abstract
In this Letter, we discuss two general classes of apparent violations of the bulk-edge correspondence principle for continuous topological photonic materials, associated with the asymptotic behavior of the surface modes for diverging wave numbers. Considering a nonreciprocal plasma as a model system, we show that the inclusion of spatial dispersion (e.g., hydrodynamic nonlocality) formally restores the bulk-edge correspondence by avoiding an unphysical response at large wave numbers. Most importantly, however, our findings show that, for the considered cases, the correspondence principle is physically violated for all practical purposes, as a result of the unavoidable attenuation of highly confined modes even if all materials are assumed perfect, with zero intrinsic bulk losses, due to confinement-induced Landau damping or nonlocality-induced radiation leakage. Our work helps clarifying the subtle and rich topological wave physics of continuous media.
