Enancing scattering and absorption in two-dimensional layered material systems with surface plasmons and periodicity

The electromagnetic waves scattered or absorbed by the structures having atomically thin layered materials can be enhanced by surface plasmon resonance and periodicity. In this work, we show that the enhancement can be accurately calculated using analytical methods specifically developed for multilayered media. Analytical methods' accuracy and efficiency is compared against experimental results found in the literature and commercially available full wave electromagnetic solvers, respectively.
