Two-dimensional talc as a natural abundant ultra-broadband hyperbolic material
We demonstrate that two-dimensional talc, a naturally abundant phyllosilicate mineral, supports hyperbolic phonon-polaritons (HPhPs) across the mid- and far-infrared wavelengths. Using scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy (SINS), we reveal tunable HPhP modes in talc flakes with long lifetimes, high confinement, and quality factors of up to 5. We further observe Fabry–Pérot cavity modes in tapered flakes, confirmed by simulations and analytical modeling. Compared to synthetic crystals, talc offers an ultra-broadband, low-cost, and sustainable platform for infrared nanophotonics and optoelectronics.
