Optical anisotropy of black phosphorus by total internal reflection

Optical anisotropy of black phosphorus by total internal reflection

Although abundant research on the anisotropy of van der Waals (vdW) materials has been published, we undertake an in-depth study of their optical properties as they have an important guiding role for light control in two-dimensional (2D) nanospace. As an example, we study the reflectance of few-laye...
