Hybrid plasmonic-semiconductor assemblies are receiving considerable attention due to the possibility to achieve hot-carrier-based photodetection. In this context, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) coupled to metal nanostructures are very promising. However, the plasmon-to-TMD carrier injection process is extremely challenging to...

A cost effective method to tailor the optical response of large-area nanosheets of 2D materials is described. A reduced effective metalayer model is introduced to capture the key-role of the out-of-plane component of the dielectric tensor. Such a model indicates that the optical extinction of 2D materials can be strongly altered by controlling...
