Phonon-Enhanced Mid-Infrared CO2 Gas Sensing Using Boron Nitride Nanoresonators

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) hosts long-lived phonon polaritons, yielding a strong mid-infrared (mid-IR) electric field enhancement and concentration on the nanometer scale. It is thus a promising material for highly sensitive mid-IR sensing and spectroscopy. In addition, hBN possesses high chemica...
