Polaritons in two-dimensional materials and hybrids probed by electron beams — •Nahid Talebi — Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics, Kiel University, Leibnizstr. 19, 24118 Kiel

Polaritonic quasiparticles in two-dimensional (2D) materials have garnered significant attention in recent years, emerging as a promising platform for studying novel photon- and phonon-mediated correlations between various material excitations. In this work, we employ electron beams to investigate exciton and plasmon polaritons in diverse 2D materials, including transition-metal dichalcogenides, perovskites, hexagonal boron nitride, borophene, and hybrid systems. By comparing cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence spectroscopy, we uncover differences in the selection rules governing the excitation of quasiparticles by coherent light versus electron beams. Furthermore, leveraging a recently developed method that utilizes electron-driven photon sources inside an electron microscope for Ramsey-type spectroscopy, we examine the coherence of cathodoluminescence emitted by exciton polaritons (Nature Physics 19, 869 (2023)) and defects in hexagonal boron nitride (arXiv:2404.09879). These results provide new insights into the temporal coherence of the radiation from 2D materials excited by coherent and incoherent excitations.
