Surface plasmon spectrum of a metallic hyperbola can be found analytically with the separation of variables in elliptic coordinates. The spectrum consists of two branches: symmetric, low-frequency branch, $omega <omega_0/sqrt{2}$, and antisymmetric high-frequency branch, $omega >omega_0/sqrt{2}$, where $omega_0$ is the bulk plasmon frequency. The frequency width of the plasmon band increases with decreasing the angle between the asymptotes of the hyperbola. For the simplest multi-connected geometry of two hyperbolas separated by an air spacer the plasmon spectrum contains two low-frequency branches and two high-frequency branches. Most remarkably, the lower of two low-frequency branches exists at $omega rightarrow 0$, i.e., unlike a single hyperbola, it is thresholdless. We study how the complex structure of the plasmon spectrum affects the energy transfer between two emitters located on the surface of the same hyperbola and on the surfaces of different hyperbolas.

We show that graphene possesses a strong nonlinear optical response in the form of multi-plasmon absorption, with exciting implications in classical and quantum nonlinear optics. Specifically, we predict that graphene nano-ribbons can be used as satu rable absorbers with low saturation intensity in the far-infrared and terahertz spectrum. Moreover, we predict that two-plasmon absorption and extreme localization of plasmon fields in graphene nano-disks can lead to a plasmon blockade effect, in which a single quantized plasmon strongly suppresses the possibility of exciting a second plasmon.
The collective excitation spectrum of two-dimensional (2D) antimonene is calculated beyond the low energy continuum approximation. The dynamical polarizability is computed using a 6-orbitals tight-binding model that properly accounts for the band str ucture of antimonene in a broad energy range. Electron-electron interaction is considered within the random phase approximation. The obtained spectrum is rich, containing the standard intra-band 2D plasmon and a set of single inter-band modes. We find that spin-orbit interaction plays a fundamental role in the reconstruction of the excitation spectrum, with the emergence of novel inter-band branches in the continuum that interact with the plasmon.

Plasmon and coupled plasmon-phonon modes in graphene are investigated the-oretically within the diagrammatic self-consistent field theory. It shows that two plasmon modes and four coupled plasmon-phonon modes can be excited via intra-and inter-band t ransition channels. It is found that with increasing q and carrier density, the plasmon modes couple strongly with the optic-phonon modes in graphene. The coupled plasmon-phonon modes exhibit some interesting features which can be utilized to realize the plasmonic devices. Our results suggest that the carrier-phonon interaction should be considered to understand and explain the properties of elementary electronic excitations in graphene.
We consider the effect of the Coulomb interaction in a nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetal, leading to collective charge oscillation modes (plasmons), focusing on the model originally predicted by Young and Kane [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 126803 (2015)]. We mo del the system in a two-dimensional square-lattice and evaluate the density-density correlation function within the random-phase approximation (RPA) in presence of the Coulomb interaction. The non-interacting band-structure consists of three band-touching points, near which the electronic states follow Dirac equations. Two of these Dirac nodes, at the momentum points $X_1$ and $X_2$ are anisotropic, i.e, disperses with different velocities in different directions, whereas the third Dirac point at $M$ is isotropic. Interestingly we find that, the system of these three Dirac nodes hold a single low-energy plasmon mode, within its particle-hole gap, that disperses in isotropic manner, in the case when the nodes at $X_1$ and $X_2$ are related by symmetry. We also show this analytically using a long-wavelength approximation. We discuss effects of perturbations that can give rise to anisotropic plasmon dispersions and comment on possible experimental observation of our prediction.
We reveal new aspects of the interaction between plasmons and phonons in 2D materials that go beyond a mere shift and increase in plasmon width due to coupling to either intrinsic vibrational modes of the material or phonons in a supporting substrate . More precisely, we predict strong plasmon splitting due to this coupling, resulting in a characteristic avoided crossing scheme. We base our results on a computationally efficient approach consisting in including many-body interactions through the electron self-energy. We specify this formalism for a description of plasmons based upon a tight-binding electron Hamiltonian combined with the random-phase approximation. This approach is accurate provided vertex corrections can be neglected, as is is the case in conventional plasmon-supporting metals and Dirac-fermion systems. We illustrate our method by evaluating plasmonic spectra of doped graphene nanotriangles with varied size, where we predict remarkable peak splittings and other radical modifications in the spectra due to plasmons interactions with intrinsic optical phonons. Our method is equally applicable to other 2D materials and provides a simple approach for investigating coupling of plasmons to phonons, excitons, and other excitations in hybrid thin nanostructures.
