We comment on the macroscopic model for surface plasmons of H.-Y. Deng [New J. Phys. 21 (2019) 043055; arXiv:1712.06101] and a claim, based on energy conversion from charges to the electric field, that surface plasmons on metallic surfaces…
Highly correlated states of electrons are thought to produce quasiparticles with very unusual properties. Here we consider how these properties are manifested in space-time propagation. Specifically, we discuss how spin-charge separation is…
