Towards twisted, topological, and quantum graphene plasmonics
In this article, we analyze the quantum and topological properties of graphene-based plasmonic systems. We consider the following plasmonic materials: single-layer graphene, twisted bilayer graphene, and other graphene stackings, as well as the following architectures: graphene-based gratings, grids, chains of graphene disks, and the kagomé lattice.

A switchable and highly efficient dual-focus acoustic metalens
Acoustic metalenses with switchable and high-efficiency focusing are pivotal for advanced manipulation of underwater sound waves. This study introduces a hybrid metalens comprising a central metasurface and a peripheral metagrating. The central metasurface ensures precise focusing at small deflection angles, while the intelligently designed metagrating units, each comprising two elliptic iron cylinders, enable efficient and switchable focusing at large angles.
