Summary:In this paper, hyperbolic plasmonic responses of phosphorene under uniaxial strains have been explored within density functional theory. In the hyperbolic regime, plasmonic slab waveguide modes are found only along armchair direction. Then, uniaxial strains up to 10% have been applied along zigzag and armchair directions, which can significantly modify its plasmonic responses. Under appropriate strain, the signs of permittivities along two in-plane directions can be even reversed, causing switching of the propagating direction of the plasmonic modes into zigzag direction. Our investigations may give a general idea about how to control the hyperbolic plasmonic modes in phosphorene via strain.
