Abstract
In recent years, significant attention has been attracted to hyperbolic (or indefinite) materials resulting from their extraordinary optical properties, such as all-angle negative refraction. Here, tunable biaxial hyperbolic dispersion and negative refraction were found in graphite crystal. First principles were used to calculate the permittivity of graphite in [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-directions, the results indicate that graphite crystals exhibit indefinite dielectric constant tensor in certain frequency range. By adjusting strain, the optical properties of materials changed, and even switched from hyperbolic to elliptical materials in some frequency. This work demonstrates the feasibility of achieving high-performance tunable biaxial natural hyperbolic materials which can be used in various ways.
