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 electrons oscillate in phase with one another [this is the conventional 2D graphene plasmon, which at long wavelengths (q->0) has the same dispersion, q^1/2, as the conventional 2D plasmon of a 2D free electron gas], and the other mode found here corresponding to a low-frequency acoustic oscillation [whose energy exhibits at long wavelengths a linear dependence on the 2D wavenumber q] in which the two types of electrons oscillate out of phase. If this prediction is confirmed experimentally, it will represent the first realization of acoustic plasmons originated in the collective motion of a system of two types of carriers coexisting within the very same band.
We study the effect of two metallic slabs on the collective dynamics of electrons in graphene positioned between the two slabs. We show that if the slabs are perfect conductors the plasmons of graphene display a linear dispersion relation. The veloci
We theoretically calculate the phonon scattering limited electron mobility in extrinsic (i.e. gated or doped with a tunable and finite carrier density) 2D graphene layers as a function of temperature $(T)$ and carrier density $(n)$. We find a tempera

The textbook thermophoretic force which acts on a body in a fluid is proportional to the local temperature gradient. The same is expected to hold for the macroscopic drift behavior of a diffusive cluster or molecule physisorbed on a solid surface. Th
