Abstract
Tailoring light-matter interaction is essential to realize nanophotonic components. It can be achieved with surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), an excitation of photons coupled with phonons of polar crystals, which also occur in 2d materials such as hexagonal boron nitride or anisotropic crystals. Ultra-confined resonances are observed by restricting the SPhPs to cavities. Phase-change materials (PCMs) enable non-volatile programming of these cavities based on a change in the refractive index. Recently, the plasmonic PCM In3SbTe2 (IST) was introduced which can be reversibly switched from an amorphous dielectric state to a crystalline metallic one in the entire infrared to realize numerous nanoantenna geometries. However, reconfiguring SPhP resonators to modify the confined polaritons modes remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate direct programming of confined SPhP resonators by phase-switching IST on top of a polar silicon carbide crystal and investigate the strongly confined resonance modes with scanning near-field optical microscopy. Reconfiguring the size of the resonators themselves result in enhanced mode confinements up to a value of λ / 35 . Finally, unconventional cavity shapes with complex field patterns are explored as well. This study is a first step towards rapid prototyping of reconfigurable SPhP resonators that can be easily transferred to hyperbolic and anisotropic 2d materials.

Abstract
Dielectric environment engineering is an efficient and general approach to manipulating polaritons. Liquids serving as the surrounding media of polaritons have been used to shift polariton dispersions and tailor polariton wavefronts. However, those liquid-based methods have so far been limited to their static states, not fully unleashing the promise offered by the mobility of liquids. Here, we propose a microfluidic strategy for polariton manipulation by merging polaritonics with microfluidics. The diffusion of fluids causes gradient refractive indices over microchannels, which breaks the symmetry of polariton dispersions and realizes the microfluidic analogue to nonreciprocal polariton dragging. Based on polariton microfluidics, we also designed a set of on-chip polaritonic elements to actively shape polaritons, including planar lenses, off-axis lenses, Janus lenses, bends, and splitters. Our strategy expands the toolkit for the manipulation of polaritons at the subwavelength scale and possesses potential in the fields of polariton biochemistry and molecular sensing.

Abstract
Solid-state devices made from correlated oxides, such as perovskite nickelates, are promising for neuromorphic computing by mimicking biological synaptic function. However, comprehending dopant action at the nanoscale poses a formidable challenge to understanding the elementary mechanisms involved. Here, we perform operando infrared nanoimaging of hydrogen-doped correlated perovskite, neodymium nickel oxide (H-NdNiO3, H-NNO), devices and reveal how an applied field perturbs dopant distribution at the nanoscale. This perturbation leads to stripe phases of varying conductivity perpendicular to the applied field, which define the macroscale electrical characteristics of the devices. Hyperspectral nano-FTIR imaging in conjunction with density functional theory calculations unveils a real-space map of multiple vibrational states of H-NNO associated with OH stretching modes and their dependence on the dopant concentration. Moreover, the localization of excess charges induces an out-of-plane lattice expansion in NNO which was confirmed by in situ X-ray diffraction and creates a strain that acts as a barrier against further diffusion. Our results and the techniques presented here hold great potential for the rapidly growing field of memristors and neuromorphic devices wherein nanoscale ion motion is fundamentally responsible for function.

Abstract
Unveiling the effects of oxygen vacancies on the structural stability of layered α-MoO3 is critical for optimizing its physical and chemical properties. Herein, we present experimental evidence regarding the phase stability of α-MoO3 with ∼2% oxygen vacancy concentrations. Interestingly, we report a previously ignored oxygen-deficient orthorhombic MoO3-x phase in space group Cmcm. Further density functional theory calculations reveal a detailed phase transition mechanism from α-MoO3 to MoO3-x. More importantly, we demonstrate that two-dimensional (2D) large polarons must exist to stabilize the MoO3-x crystal structure. 2D large polarons are suspected to exist in numerous quasi-2D systems but have never been found in layered α-MoO3 or other molybdenum oxides. Our work contributes to a basic understanding of the polaronic behavior in MoO3-x and may broaden the application realm of molybdenum oxides.

Abstract
In3SbTe2 (IST), a new non-volatile phase-change material (PCM), promises highly tunable infrared optical properties and offers a distinct path to the significant modulation of its optical scattering fingerprint, suggesting tremendous applications. In this Letter, we demonstrate and optimize a four-layer emitter based on IST, achieving an ultra-wide average emissivity variation of more than 94% in the middle-infrared region (MIR, 3-5 µm). This remarkable emissivity difference can be further continuously modified by changing the structural composition in terms of the amorphous and crystalline states of the IST layers. Based on this continuous programmable emission, the MIR emission characteristics of marble, maple leaf, and blue polyvinyl chloride are successfully imitated together on a desert background, demonstrating the programmable and multi-level MIR optical camouflage capabilities of IST. This work provides a promising platform for continuously modulating emission characteristics and offers a reference for the subsequent application of programmable optical devices.

Abstract
2D monolayers supporting a wide variety of highly confined plasmons, phonon polaritons, and exciton polaritons can be vertically stacked in van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) with controlled constituent layers, stacking sequence, and even twist angles. vdWHs combine advantages of 2D material polaritons, rich optical structure design, and atomic scale integration, which have greatly extended the performance and functions of polaritons, such as wide frequency range, long lifetime, ultrafast all-optical modulation, and photonic crystals for nanoscale light. Here, the state of the art of 2D material polaritons in vdWHs from the perspective of design principles and potential applications is reviewed. Some fundamental properties of polaritons in vdWHs are initially discussed, followed by recent discoveries of plasmons, phonon polaritons, exciton polaritons, and their hybrid modes in vdWHs. The review concludes with a perspective discussion on potential applications of these polaritons such as nanophotonic integrated circuits, which will benefit from the intersection between nanophotonics and materials science.

Abstract
All-dielectric metasurfaces have led to a surge of activities in the field of polarization converters due to their extremely significant potential in the manipulation of terahertz waves. Herein, a versatile all-dielectric metasurface platform that can realize dual-functional polarization manipulation for the orthogonal states of polarization in the terahertz frequency range is proposed. Furthermore, such metasurface platform exhibits the properties of a full-waveplate for one circularly polarized light, and a quarter-waveplate for the orthogonal circularly polarized light. For experimental demonstrations of strategy verification, several representative metasurfaces consisting of subwavelength-scaled all-silicon elliptical cylinders were designed, fabricated, and characterized to demonstrate the capability of dual-functional polarization manipulation, including bifunctional waveplate, near-field imaging, and focusing. The metasurface platform demonstrated here may provide an alternative perspective for the development of compact, versatile polarization terahertz devices, and the design concept can be extended to other frequency ranges as well.

Abstract
Hyperbolic polaritons in extremely anisotropic materials have attracted intensive attention due to their exotic optical features. Recent advances in optical materials reveal unprecedented dispersion engineering of polaritons, resulting in twistronics for photons, canalized phonon polaritons, shear polaritons, and tunable topological polaritons. However, the on-demand reconfigurability of polaritons, especially with magnetic anisotropic dispersions, is restricted by weak natural magnetic anisotropy and hence remains largely unexplored. Here, we show how origami fused with artificial magnetism unveils a versatile pathway to topologically reconfigure magnetic polaritons. We experimentally demonstrate that the three-dimensional origami deformation allows to reconfigure hyperbolic or elliptic topology of polariton dispersion and modulate group velocity. With group velocity transitioning from positive to negative directions, we further report reconfigurable origami polariton circuitry in which the polariton propagation and phase distribution can be tailored. Our findings provide alternative perspectives on on-chip polaritonics, with potential applications in energy transfer, sensing, and information transport.
