As a natural van der Waals crystal, α-MoO3 has excellent in-plane hyperbolic properties and essential nanophotonics applications. However, its tunable properties are generally neglected. Here, we achieve effective modulation of spontaneous emission (SE) from a single-layer flat plate by changing the crystal directions. Numerical results and theoretical analysis show that α-MoO3 exhibits good tunability when the crystal directions of α-MoO3 are different in y– z or x– y planes. A modulation…
