Abstract

The collective excitations of electrons in the bulk or at the surface, namely plasmons, play an important role in the properties of materials, and have generated the field of plasmonics. We report the observation of a highly unusual plasmon mode on the surface of Van der Waals heterostructures of graphene monolayer on 2D transition metal dichalcogenide substrate. Since the exponentially decaying fields of surface plasmon wave propagating along interface is highly sensitive to the ambient refractive index variations, such heterostructures are useful for ultra-sensitive bio-sensing.
