Fizeau demonstrated in 1850 that the speed of light can be modified when it is propagating in moving media. Can we achieve such control of the light speed efficiently with a fast-moving electron media by passing electrical current? Because…

Electrostatic gating and optical pumping schemes enable efficient time modulation of graphene's free carrier density, or Drude weight. We develop a theory for plasmon propagation in graphene under temporal modulation. When the modulation is…

It is commonly assumed that photocurrent in two-dimensional systems with centrosymmetric lattice is generated at structural inhomogenities, such as p-n junctions. Here, we study an alternative mechanism of photocurrent generation associated…

Plasmonics can be used to improve absorption in optoelectronic devices and has been intensively studied for solar cells and photodetectors. Graphene has recently emerged as a powerful plasmonic material. It shows significantly less losses…

This paper is withdrawn by the authors. We theoretically examine graphene plasmon polaritons (GPP) supported by a sheet of graphene sandwiched between two dielectric media. The influence of the dielectric environment on GPP's is studied…

Within the Dirac model for the electronic excitations of graphene, we calculate the full polarization tensor with finite mass and chemical potential. It has, besides the (00)-component, a second form factor, which must be accounted for. We…

We present a description of the energy loss of a charged particle moving parallel to a graphene layer and graphene double layers. Specifically, we compare the stopping power of the plasma oscillations for these two configurations in the…

Graphene is emerging as a viable alternative to conventional optoelectronic, plasmonic, and nanophotonic materials. The interaction of light with carriers creates an out-of-equilibrium distribution, which relaxes on an ultrafast timescale…

Inelastic electron tunneling provides a low-energy pathway for the excitation of surface plasmons and light emission. We theoretically investigate tunnel junctions based on metals and graphene. We show that graphene is potentially a highly…

The dispersion relation for the collective plasma excitations of optically dressed Dirac electrons in single and double graphene layers is calculated in the random-phase approximation. The presence of circularly polarized light gives rise…

Nonlinear light-matter interactions are typically enhanced by increasing the local field and its interaction time with matter. Conventional methods to achieve these goals are based on resonances or slow-light effects. However, these methods…

The optical properties of graphene are made unique by the linear band structure and the vanishing density of states at the Dirac point. It has been proposed that even in the absence of a semiconducting bandgap, a relaxation bottleneck at…

Large photon drag effect of the massless Dirac Fermions in intrinsic graphene is predicted for a graphene-on-plasmonic-layer system. The surface plasmons in the plasmonic layer enlarge the wave number of photon for hundreds of time of that…

We calculate the linear transverse current current response function for graphene at finite temperature and chemical potential. Within the Random Phase Approximation, we then discuss general aspects of transverse plasmons beyond the local…

The present work deals with a theoretical research on the emission and radiation properties of a dipole emitter source close to a dimer graphene plasmonic antenna. Modification of the radiation and the quantum efficiencies resulting from…

Although plasmon modes exist in doped graphene, the limited range of doping achieved by gating restricts the plasmon frequencies to a range that does not include visible and infrared. Here we show, through the use of first-principles…

The relation between the energy and momentum of plasmarons in bilayer graphene is investigated within the Overhauser approach, where the electron-plasmon interaction is described as a field theoretical problem. We find that the Dirac-like…

The phase picked up by a graphene plasmon upon scattering by an abrupt edge is commonly assumed to be $-\pi$. Here, it is demonstrated that for high plasmon momenta this reflection phase is $\approx -3\pi/4$, virtually independent on either…

We perform a comprehensive analysis of the spectrum of graphene plasmons which arise when a pair of sheets are confined between conducting materials. The associated enhanced local fields may be employed in the manipulation of light on the…

Coupling of plasmons in graphene at terahert (THz) frequencies with surface plasmons in a heavily-doped substrate is studied theoretically. We reveal that a huge scattering rate may completely damp out the plasmons, so that proper choices…
