In this study, I demonstrated the existence of Tamm plasmon polariton (TPP) modes at the interface of one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhC) and metal nitrides. Metal nitrides such as titanium nitride (TiN), zirconium nitride (ZrN), tantalum nitride (TaN), and hafnium nitride (HfN) exhibit metallic properties in the visible and infrared spectral ranges. Theoretical calculations were performed to evaluate TiN as an alternative plasmonic material to conventional plasmonic metals for the excitation of TPP modes in the visible and near-infrared spectral region. The transfer matrix method was used to study the proposed structure and its spectral properties. I also explored the suitable conditions for the efficient excitation of TPP modes with TiN as a plasmonic material. The optimum TiN thickness was investigated for TPP excitation in the visible and near-infrared spectral region. In addition, I explored the angular dispersion characteristics of the TPP modes in TiN-PhC configurations. The results obtained in this study may be useful for designing devices based on TPPs.

在这项研究中，我证明了在一维光子晶体 (1D PhC) 和金属氮化物的界面处存在 Tamm 等离子体激元 (TPP) 模式。氮化钛 (TiN)、氮化锆 (ZrN)、氮化钽 (TaN) 和氮化铪 (HfN) 等金属氮化物在可见光和红外光谱范围内表现出金属特性。进行理论计算以评估 TiN 作为传统等离子体金属的替代等离子体材料，用于在可见光和近红外光谱区域激发 TPP 模式。传递矩阵方法用于研究所提出的结构及其光谱特性。我还探索了使用 TiN 作为等离子体材料有效激发 TPP 模式的合适条件。在可见光和近红外光谱区域研究了 TPP 激发的最佳 TiN 厚度。此外，我探索了 TiN-PhC 配置中 TPP 模式的角色散特性。本研究中获得的结果可能有助于设计基于 TPP 的设备。
