Reflections on optics in 2D materials

Two-dimensional materials inspired a large number of studies, both experimental and theoretical, regarding their beneficial properties and possible applications in various technologies [1, 2]. Going beyond graphene in our studies we concentrate on single layer structures – monolayers – composed of indium and antimony atoms. Their allotropic modifications show tunable electronic band structures which leads to diverse polarization dependent optical properties, ranging from relatively high refraction coefficient to very high selective reflectivity [3, 4]. An overview of their advantages and disadvantages will be compared to other monolayer materials, like graphene, silicene and transition metal dichalcogenides.
