Plasmon bands in multilayer graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-energy collective electronic excitations (plasmons) in freestanding multilayer graphene are studied by momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). For normal incidence, only the high-energy plasmon band is excited and we measure a blueshift of the π -plasmon dispersion with increasing thickness. The observed transition between two-dimensional and three-dimensional behavior is explained using a layeredelectron-gas (LEG) model. We propose a method to measure all individual plasmon bands by tilting the sample with respect to the electron beam. As a proof of concept, EELS experiments for three-layer graphene are compared with predictions from the LEG model.

Terahertz Optoelectronic Property of Graphene: Substrate-Induced Effects on Plasmonic Characteristics
The terahertz plasmon dispersion of a multilayer system consisting of graphene on dielectric and/or plasma thin layers is systematically investigated. We show that graphene plasmons can couple with other quasiparticles such as phonons and plasmons of the substrate; the characteristics of the plasmon dispersion of graphene are dramatically modified by the presence of the coupling effect. The res...

The authors neglected to cite a related study that reports an ARPES experiment indicating the presence of multiple p bands in multilayer graphene on C-face SiC. 1 This is given below as Reference 1. In the present Article, nano-ARPES band mappings of individual graphene grains unambiguously show that multilayer C-face graphene exhibits multiple p-bands.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a natural hyperbolic material, which can also accommodate highly dispersive surface phonon-polariton modes. In this paper, we examine theoretically the mid-infrared optical properties of graphene-hBN heterostructures derived from their coupled plasmon-phonon modes. We find that the graphene plasmon couples differently with the phonons of the two Reststrahlen ban...

We have determined the electronic bandstructure of clean and potassium-doped single layer graphene, and fitted the graphene π bands to a oneand three-near-neighbor tight binding model. We characterized the quasiparticle dynamics using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The dynamics reflect the interaction between holes and collective excitations, namely plasmons, phonons, and electron-h...
متن کاملPlasmon Excitations of Multi-layer Graphene on a Conducting Substrate.
We predict the existence of low-frequency nonlocal plasmons at the vacuum-surface interface of a superlattice of N graphene layers interacting with conducting substrate. We derive a dispersion function that incorporates the polarization function of both the graphene monolayers and the semi-infinite electron liquid at whose surface the electrons scatter specularly. We find a surface plasmon-pola...
