研究目的
Investigating the effects of an applied magnetic field on the dispersion relations for bulk and surface plasmon-polaritons in a semi-infinite 1D photonic crystal interlayered with graphene.
研究成果
The inclusion of an external magnetic field in the graphene photonic crystal strongly affects the dispersion relations of the polaritons, especially at low frequencies. A novel nonreciprocity effect is found for the propagation of surface modes, and the possibility of having s-polarized surface polariton modes is identified. The study suggests that graphene photonic crystals can be used to excite surface and bulk magnetoplasmon polaritons in the THz regime with modest external magnetic fields.
研究不足
The study does not include the effects of absorption near 4 THz and 8 THz due to SiO2, focusing instead on the role of graphene layers in a magnetic field. The results are sensitive to the electron scattering rate parameter and the intensity of the applied magnetic field.
