Abstract:
Nonreciprocal quantum devices, allowing different transmission efficiencies of light-matter polaritons along opposite directions, are key technologies for modern photonics, yet their miniaturization and fine manipulation remain an open challenge. Here, we report on magnetochiral plexcitons dressed with geometric-time double asymmetry in compact nonreciprocal hybrid metamaterials, leading to triple plexcitonic nonreciprocity with flexible controllability. A general magnetically dressed plexcitonic Born-Kuhn model is developed to reveal the hybrid optical nature and dynamic energy evolution of magnetochiral plexcitons, demonstrating a plexcitonic nonreciprocal mechanism originating from the strong coupling among photon, electron, and spin degrees of freedom. Moreover, we introduce the temperature-controlled knob/switch for magnetochiral plexcitons, achieving precise magnetochiral control and nonreciprocal transmission in a given system. We expect this mechanism and approach to open up a new route for the integration and fine control of on-chip nonreciprocal quantum devices.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
