The plasmonic character of monolayer silicene is investigated by time-dependent density functional theory in the random phase approximation. The energy-loss function of the system is analyzed, with particular reference to its induced charge-density fluctuations, i.e., plasmon resonances and corresponding dispersions, occurring in the investigated energy-momentum region. At energies larger than 1.5eV, two intrinsic interband modes are detected and characterized. The first one is a hybridized pi-like plasmon, which is assisted by competing one-electron processes involving sp2 and sp3 states. The second one is a more conventional pi-sigma plasmon, which is more intense than the pi-like plasmon and more affected by one-electron processes involving the sigma bands, with respect to the analogous collective oscillation in monolayer graphene. At energies below 1eV, two extrinsic intraband modes are predicted to occur, which are generated by distinct types of Dirac electrons (associated with different Fermi velocities at the so-called Dirac points). The most intense of them is a two-dimensional plasmon, having an energy-momentum dispersion that resembles that of a two-dimensional electron gas. The other is an acoustic plasmon that occurs for specific momentum directions and competes with the two-dimensional plasmon at mid infrared energies. The strong anisotropic character of this mode cannot be explained in terms of the widely used Dirac-cone approximation. As in mono-, bi-, and few-layer graphene, the extrinsic oscillations of silicene are highly sensitive to the concentration of injected or ejected charge carriers. More importantly, the two-dimensional and acoustic plasmons appear to be a signature of the honeycomb lattice, independently of the chemistry of the group-IV elements and the details of the unit-cell geometry.

Momentum-transfer (q) dependent non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements were made at the N4,5 edges for several rare earth compounds. With increasing q, giant dipole resonances diminish, to be replaced by strong multiplet lines at lower
Oxygen packaging in transition metal oxides determines the metal-oxygen hybridization and electronic occupation at metal orbitals. Strontium vanadate (SrVO$_3$), having a single electron in a $3d$ orbital, is thought to be the simplest example of str
As graphene became one of the most important materials today, there is a renewed interest on others similar structures. One example is silicene, the silicon analogue of graphene. It share some the remarkable graphene properties, such as the Dirac con
