Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials, e.g., graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are one-atom-thick monolayers whose electronic behaviors are described by the Dirac equation. These materials serve not only as test beds for novel quantum physics but also as promising constituents for nanophotonic devices. This review provides a brief overview of the recent effort to control Dirac electron behaviors using nanophotonics. We introduce a principle of light-2D Dirac matter interaction to offer a design guide for 2D Dirac material–based nanophotonic devices. We also discuss opportunities for coupling nanophotonics with externally perturbed 2D materials.

控制二维材料中电子行为的纳米光子途径

二维（2D）狄拉克材料，例如石墨烯和过渡金属二硫属化物（TMD），是单原子厚度的单层，其电子行为由狄拉克方程描述。这些材料不仅可以作为新型量子物理学的试验台，而且可以作为纳米光子器件的有前途的成分。这篇综述简要概述了最近使用纳米光子学控制狄拉克电子行为的努力。我们引入了光与二维狄拉克物质相互作用的原理，为基于二维狄拉克材料的纳米光子器件提供设计指南。我们还讨论了纳米光子学与外部扰动的二维材料耦合的机会。
