Excitation of localized graphene plasmons by a metallic slit

The excitation of the plasmons localized over the slit is revealed by characteristic peaks in the absorption spectrum. It is shown that the p...

| Summary: | In this paper we show that graphene surface plasmons can be excited when an electromagnetic wave packet impinges on a single metal slit covered with graphene. The excitation of the plasmons localized over the slit is revealed by characteristic peaks in the absorption spectrum. It is shown that the position of the peaks can be tuned either by the graphene doping level or by the dielectric function of the material filling the slit. The whole system forms the basis for a plasmonic sensor when the slit is filled with an analyte. |
