英文摘要：

We develop the plasmon-pole approximation (PPA) theory for calculating the carrier self-energy of extrinsic graphene as a function of doping density within analytical approximations to the $GW$ random phase approximation ($GW$-RPA). Our calculated self-energy shows excellent quantitative agreement with the corresponding full $GW$-RPA calculation results in spite of the simplicity of the PPA, establishing the general validity of the plasmon-pole approximation scheme. We also provide a comparison between the PPA and the hydrodynamic approximation in graphene, and comment on the experimental implications of our findings.

Coupled plasmon - phonon excitations in extrinsic monolayer graphene

The existence of an acoustic plasmon in extrinsic (doped or gated) monolayer graphene was found recently in an {\it ab initio} calculation with the frozen lattice [M. Pisarra {\it et al.}, arXiv:1306.6273, 2013]. By the {\em fully dynamic} density-functional perturbation theory approach, we demonstrate a strong coupling of the acoustic plasmonic mode to lattice vibrations. Thereby, the acoustic plasmon in graphene does not exist as an isolated excitation, but it is rather bound into a combined plasmon-phonon mode. We show that the coupling provides a mechanism for the {\em bidirectional} energ…

Acoustic plasmons in extrinsic free-standing graphene

An acoustic plasmon is predicted to occur, in addition to the conventional two-dimensional (2D) plasmon, as the collective motion of a system of two types of electronic carriers coexisting in the very same 2D band of extrinsic (doped or gated) graphene. The origin of this novel mode resides in the strong anisotropy that is present in the graphene band structure near the Dirac point. This anisotropy allows for the coexistence of carriers moving with two distinct Fermi velocities along the Gamma-K direction, which leads to two modes of collective oscillation: one mode in which the two types of e…

Spatial dispersion effects upon local excitation of extrinsic plasmons in a graphene micro-disk

Excitation of surface plasmon waves in extrinsic graphene is studied using a full-wave electromagnetic field solver as analysis engine. Particular emphasis is placed on the role played by spatial dispersion due to the finite size of the two-dimensional material at the micro-scale. A simple instructive set up is considered where the near field of a wire antenna is held at sub-micrometric distance from a disk-shaped graphene patch. The key-input of the simulation is the graphene conductivity tensor at terahertz frequencies, being modeled by the Boltzmann transport equation for the valence and co…

Collective Modes of Massive Dirac Fermions in Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons

We report the plasmon dispersion characteristics of intrinsic and extrinsic armchair graphene nanoribbons of atomic width N = 5 using a p_z-orbital tight binding model with third-nearest-neighbor (3nn) coupling. The coupling parameters are obtained by fitting the 3nn dispersions to that of an extended Huckel theory. The resultant massive Dirac Fermion system has a band gap E_g \approx 64 meV. The extrinsic plasmon dispersion relation is found to approach a common dispersion curve as the chemical potential $μ$ increases, whereas the intrinsic plasmon dispersion relation is found to have both en…

Plasmon dispersion in semimetallic armchair graphene nanoribbons

The dispersion relations for plasmons in intrinsic and extrinsic semimetallic armchair graphene nanoribbons (acGNR) are calculated in the random phase approximation using the orthogonal p_z-orbital tight binding method. Our model predicts new plasmons for acGNR of odd atomic widths N=5,11,17,... Our model further predicts plasmons in acGNR of even atomic width N=2,8,14,... related to those found using a Dirac continuum model, but with different quantitative dispersion characteristics. We find that the dispersion of all plasmons in semimetallic acGNR depends strongly on the localization of the …

Graphene Electrodynamics in the presence of the Extrinsic Spin Hall Effect

We extend the electrodynamics of two dimensional electron gases to account for the extrinsic spin Hall effect (SHE). The theory is applied to doped graphene decorated with a random distribution of absorbates that induce spin-orbit coupling (SOC) by proximity. The formalism extends previous semiclassical treatments of the SHE to the non-local dynamical regime. Within a particle-number conserving approximation, we compute the conductivity, dielectric function, and spin Hall angle in the small frequency and wave vector limit. The spin Hall angle is found to decrease with frequency and wave number…

Surface plasmon polaritons in topological insulator

We study surface plasmon polaritons on topological insulator-vacuum interface. When the time-reversal symmetry is broken due to ferromagnetic coupling, the surface states exhibit magneto-optical Kerr effect. This effect gives rise to a novel transverse type surface plasmon polariton, besides the longitudinal type. In specific, these two types contain three different channels, corresponding to the pole of determinant of Fresnel reflection matrix. All three channels of surface plasmon polaritons display tight confinement, long lifetime and show strong light-matter coupling with a dipole emitter.

Intrinsic plasmons in 2D Dirac materials

We consider theoretically, using the random phase approximation (RPA), low-energy intrinsic plasmons for two-dimensional (2D) systems obeying Dirac-like linear chiral dispersion with the chemical potential set precisely at the charge neutral Dirac point. The "intrinsic Dirac plasmon" energy has the characteristic $q^{1/2}$ dispersion in the 2D wave-vector $q$, but vanishes as $T^{1/2}$ in temperature for both monolayer and bilayer graphene. The intrinsic plasmon becomes overdamped for a fixed $q$ as $T -> 0$ since the level broadening (i.e. the decay of the plasmon into electron-hole pairs due…

Temperature dependence of the surface plasmon resonance in small electron gas fragments, self consistent field approximation

The temperature dependence of the surface plasmon resonance in small metal spheres is calculated using an electron gas model within the Random Phase Approximation. The calculation is mainly devoted to the study of spheres with diameters up to at least 10 nm, where quantum effects can still be relevant and simple plasmon pole approximation for the dielectric function is no more appropriate. We find a possible blue shift of the plasmon resonance position when the temperature is increased while keeping the size of the sphere fixed. The blue shift is appreciable only when the temperature is a larg…

Plasmon losses due to electron-phonon scattering: the case of graphene encapsulated in hexagonal Boron Nitride

Graphene sheets encapsulated between hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) slabs display superb electronic properties due to very limited scattering from extrinsic disorder sources such as Coulomb impurities and corrugations. Such samples are therefore expected to be ideal platforms for highly-tunable low-loss plasmonics in a wide spectral range. In this Article we present a theory of collective electron density oscillations in a graphene sheet encapsulated between two hBN semi-infinite slabs (hBN/G/hBN). Graphene plasmons hybridize with hBN optical phonons forming hybrid plasmon-phonon (HPP) modes. W…

Impurity assisted nanoscale localization of plasmonic excitations in graphene

The plasmon modes of pristine and impurity doped graphene are calculated, using a real-space theory which determines the non-local dielectric response within the random phase approximation. A full diagonalization of the polarization operator is performed, allowing the extraction of all its poles. It is demonstrated how impurities induce the formation of localized modes which are absent in pristine graphene. The dependence of the spatial modulations over few lattice sites and frequencies of the localized plasmons on the electronic filling and impurity strength is discussed. Furthermore, it is s…

From surface to volume plasmons in hyperbolic metamaterials: General existence conditions for bulk high-k waves in metal-dielectric and graphene-dielectric multilayers

We theoretically investigate general existence conditions for broadband bulk large-wavevector (high-k) propagating waves (such as volume plasmon polaritons in hyperbolic metamaterials) in subwavelength periodic multilayer structures. Describing the elementary excitation in the unit cell of the structure by a generalized resonance pole of a reflection coefficient, and using Bloch's theorem, we derive analytical expressions for the band of large-wavevector propagating solutions. We apply our formalism to determine the high-k band existence in two important cases: the well-known metal-dielectric,…

Plasmon anomaly in the dynamical optical conductivity of graphene

We theoretically consider the effect of plasmon collective modes on the frequency-dependent conductivity of graphene in the presence of the random static potential of charged impurities. We develop an equation of motion approach suitable for the relativistic Dirac electrons in graphene that allows analytical high-frequency asymptotic solution in the presence of both disorder and interaction. We show that the presence of the acoustic plasmon pole (i.e. the plasmon frequency vanishing at long wavelengths as the square-root of wavevector) in the inverse dynamical dielectric function of graphene g…

Novel properties of graphene in the presence of energy gap: optics, transport and mobility studies

We review the transmission of Dirac electrons through a potential barrier in the presence of circularly polarized light. A different type of transmission is demonstrated and explained. Perfect transmission for nearly head-on collision in inffnite graphene is suppressed in gapped dressed states of electrons. We also present our results on enhanced mobility of hot Dirac electrons in nanoribbons and magnetoplasmons in graphene in the presence of the energy gap. The calculated carrier mobility for a graphene nanoribbon as a function of the bias field possesses a high threshold for entering the non…

Anisotropic Fermionic Quasiparticles

We have carried out a comprehensive investigation of the quasiparticle properties of a two-dimensional electron gas, interacting via the long-range Coulomb interaction, in the presence of bare mass anisotropy (i.e. with an elliptic noninteracting Fermi surface) by calculating the self-energy, the spectral function, the scattering rate, and the effective mass within the leading order dynamical self-energy approximation. We find novel anisotropic features of quasiparticle properties that are not captured by the isotropic approximation where the anisotropic effective mass is replaced by the isotr…
