Radiative energy band gap of nanostructures coupled with quantum emitters around the epsilon-near-zero frequency

Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials have been demonstrated to exhibit unique electromagnetic properties. Here we propose the concept of a radiative energy band gap for an ENZ nanoparticle coupled with a quantum emitter (QE). The radiative emission of the coupled QE–nanoparticle can be significantly su...
