Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases the Drude model should be replaced by more advanced descriptions that take spatial dispersion into account, like the hydrodynamic model. Here we show that nonlocality in the metallic response affects surface plasmons propagating at the interface between a metal and a dielectric with high permittivity. As a direct consequence, any nanoparticle with a radius larger than 20 nm can be expected to be sensitive to spatial dispersion whatever its size. The same behavior is expected for a simple metallic grating allowing the excitation of surface plasmons, just as in Woods famous experiments. Importantly, our work suggests that for any plasmonic structure in a high permittivity dielectric, nonlocality should be taken into account.

We propose a scheme to directionally couple light into graphene plasmons by placing a graphene sheet on a magneto-optical substrate. When a magnetic field is applied parallel to the surface, the graphene plasmon dispersion relation becomes asymmetric
in the forward and backward directions. It is possible to achieve unidirectional excitation of graphene plasmons with normally incident illumination by applying a grating to the substrate. The directionality can be actively controlled by electrically gating the graphene, or by varying the magnetic bias. This scheme may have applications in graphene-based opto-electronics and sensing.
We comment on the macroscopic model for surface plasmons of H.-Y. Deng [New J. Phys. 21 (2019) 043055; arXiv:1712.06101] and a claim, based on energy conversion from charges to the electric field, that surface plasmons on metallic surfaces may become
unstable [J. Phys.: Cond. Matt. 29 (2017) 455002; arXiv:1606.06239, 1701.01060]. The discussion revolves around the formulation of charge conservation in the bulk and the surface of a metal. We elaborate in particular on the role of a finite electric current normal to the surface. Using a scheme of Cercignani and Lampis and of Zaremba, we point out that the model chosen by Deng for the non-specular scattering of electrons needs to be amended to prevent the disappearance of charges at the surface. Different models and approaches in the literature on surface plasmons are reviewed: the interfacial excess field approach of Bedeaux and Vlieger which contains Dengs macroscopic model, the assumption of specular reflection of Ritchie and Marusak, a hydrodynamic model with a composite charge density (partially localized at the surface), the local dielectric model, and a macroscopic method with (anti)symmetric fictitious stimuli (used, e.g., by Garc{i}a-Moliner and Flores). This puts Dengs results into perspective and illustrates problems with his approach.
Assuming that the resonant surface plasmons on a spherical nanoparticle is formed by standing waves of two counter-propagating surface plasmon waves along the surface, by using Mie theory simulation, we find that the dispersions of surface plasmon re
sonant modes supported by silver nanospheres match that of the surface plasmons on a semi-infinite medium-silver interface very well. This suggests that the resonant surface plasmons of a metal nanosphere can be treated as a propagating surface plasmon wave.
Here we present an all-optical plasmon coupling scheme, utilising the intrinsic nonlinear optical response of graphene. We demonstrate coupling of free-space, visible light pulses to the surface plasmons in a planar, un-patterned graphene sheet by us
ing nonlinear wave mixing to match both the wavevector and energy of the surface wave. By carefully controlling the phase-matching conditions, we show that one can excite surface plasmons with a defined wavevector and direction across a large frequency range, with an estimated photon efficiency in our experiments approaching $10^{-5}$.
We demonstrate that graphene placed on top of structured substrates offers a novel approach for trapping and guiding surface plasmons. A monolayer graphene with a spatially varying curvature exhibits an effective trapping potential for graphene plasm
ons near curved areas such as bumps, humps and wells. We derive the governing equation for describing such localized channel plasmons guided by curved graphene and validate our theory by the first-principle numerical simulations. The proposed confinement mechanism enables plasmon guiding by the regions of maximal curvature, and it offers a versatile platform for manipulating light in planar landscapes. In addition, isolated deformations of graphene such as bumps are shown to support localized surface modes and resonances suggesting a new way to engineer plasmonic metasurfaces.
