Electromagnetic fields bound tightly to charge carriers in a two-dimensional sheet, namely surface plasmons, are shielded by metallic plates that are a part of a device. It is shown that for epitaxial graphenes, the propagation velocity of surface plasmons is suppressed significantly through a partial screening of the electron charge by the interface states. On the basis of analytical calculations of the electron lifetime determined by the screened Coulomb interaction, we show that the screening effect gives results in agreement with those of a recent experiment.

A single-wall carbon nanotube possesses two different types of plasmons specified by the wavenumbers in the azimuthal and axial directions. The azimuthal plasmon that is caused by interband transitions has been studied, while the effect of charge dop
ing is unknown. In this paper, we show that when nanotubes are heavily doped, intraband transitions cause the azimuthal plasmons to appear as a plasmon resonance in the near-infrared region of the absorption spectra, which is absent for light doping due to the screening effect. The axial plasmons that are inherent in the cylindrical waveguide structures of nanotubes, account for the absorption peak of the metallic nanotube observed in the terahertz region. The excitation of axial (azimuthal) plasmons requires a linearly polarized light parallel (perpendicular) to the tubes axis.
A quantitative understanding of the electromagnetic response of materials is essential for the precise engineering of maximal, versatile, and controllable light--matter interactions. Material surfaces, in particular, are prominent platforms for enhan
cing electromagnetic interactions and for tailoring chemical processes. However, at the deep nanoscale, the electromagnetic response of electron systems is significantly impacted by quantum surface-response at material interfaces, which is challenging to probe using standard optical techniques. Here, we show how ultra-confined acoustic graphene plasmons (AGPs) in graphene--dielectric--metal structures can be used to probe the quantum surface-response functions of nearby metals, here encoded through the so-called Feibelman $d$-parameters. Based on our theoretical formalism, we introduce a concrete proposal for experimentally inferring the low-frequency quantum response of metals from quantum shifts of the AGPs dispersion, and demonstrate that the high field confinement of AGPs can resolve intrinsically quantum mechanical electronic length-scales with subnanometer resolution. Our findings reveal a promising scheme to probe the quantum response of metals, and further suggest the utilization of AGPs as plasmon rulers with r{a}ngstr{o}m-scale accuracy.
In this paper we analyze the effects of nonlocality on the optical properties of a system consisting of a thin metallic film separated from a graphene sheet by a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layer. We show that nonlocal effects in the metal have a s
trong impact on the spectrum of the surface plasmon-polaritons on graphene. If the graphene sheet is shaped into a grating, we show that the extinction curves can be used to shed light on the importance of nonlocal effects in metals. Therefore, graphene surface plasmons emerge as a tool for probing nonlocal effects in metallic nanostructures, including thin metallic films. As a byproduct of our study, we show that nonlocal effects lead to smaller losses for the graphene plasmons than what is predicted by a local calculation. We show that these effects can be very well mimicked using a local theory with an effective spacer thickness larger than its actual value.
The two-dimensionality of graphene and other layered materials can be exploited to simplify the theoretical description of their plasmonic and polaritonic modes. We present an analytical theory that allows us to simulate these excitations in terms of
plasmon wave functions (PWFs). Closed-form expressions are offered for their associated extinction spectra, involving only two real parameters for each plasmon mode and graphene morphology, which we calculate and tabulate once and for all. Classical and quantum-mechanical formulations of this PWF formalism are introduced, in excellent mutual agreement for armchaired islands with $>10,$nm characteristic size. Examples of application are presented to predict both plasmon-induced transparency in interacting nanoribbons and excellent sensing capabilities through the response to the dielectric environment. We argue that the PWF formalism has general applicability and allows us to analytically describe a wide range of 2D polaritonic behavior, thus facilitating their use for the design of actual devices.
We have studied the dielectric screening of electric field which is induced by a gate voltage in twisted double bilayer graphene by using a sample with a mismatch angle of about 5 degrees. In low temperature magnetotransport measurements, quantum osc
illations of magnetoresistance originating from two bands with different carrier density were observed. The behavior of the carrier densities with respect to the total carrier density were distinct from that of the AB-stacked tetralayer graphene. The carrier density ratio was theoretically analyzed in terms of the model that the induced charge decays exponentially with distance with a screening length {lambda}. The estimated {lambda} was slightly larger than that of AB-stacked graphene, which would possibly reflect the difference in the inter-plane distribution of probability of the wave function.
