Visible-NIR-Frequency Hyperbolic Response in Nodal-Line Semimetal PbTaSe$_2$

Carolina Orona-Navar, Morgan G. Blevins, Simo Pajovic, Svetlana V. Boriskina, Vivian J. Santamaria-Garcia

PbTaSe₂ exhibits robust hyperbolic optical behavior in the visible to near-infrared range from its intrinsic anisotropic structure.

Claims

C1strongest claim

we experimentally demonstrate that the nodal-line semimetal PbTaSe₂ exhibits robust hyperbolic optical behavior in the visible to near-infrared spectral range, which arises intrinsically from its anisotropic electronic structure and layered crystal symmetry

C2weakest assumption

The ellipsometry and reflectance data reflect true bulk hyperbolic response rather than surface contamination, defects, or thin-film effects, and the Drude-Lorentz fit accurately separates the plasmonic contribution without post-hoc parameter adjustments.

C3one line summary

PbTaSe₂ exhibits intrinsic plasmonic hyperbolic response in the visible-NIR range with anisotropy parameter |R| ≈ 231 and quality factor Q_max ≈ 2.8 at 0.78 eV.
