In most materials, transport can be described by the motion of distinct species of quasiparticles, such as electrons and phonons. Strong interactions between quasiparticles, however, can lead to collective behaviour, including the…

Two-dimensional (2D) metals can host gapless plasmonic excitations, which strongly couple to electrons and thus may significantly affect superconductivity in layered materials. To investigate the dynamical interplay of the electron-electron…
