Acoustic plasmons at the crossover between the collisionless and hydrodynamic regimes in two-dimensional electron liquids
arXiv:1812.09889 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.144307
Abstract
Hydrodynamic flow in two-dimensional electron systems has so far been probed only by dc transport and scanning gate microscopy measurements. In this work we discuss theoretically signatures of the hydrodynamic regime in near-field optical microscopy. We analyze the dispersion of acoustic plasmon modes in two-dimensional electron liquids using a non-local conductivity that takes into account the effects of (momentum-conserving) electron-electron collisions, (momentum-relaxing) electron-phonon and electron-impurity collisions, and many-body interactions beyond the celebrated Random Phase Approximation. We derive the dispersion and, most importantly, the damping of acoustic plasmon modes and their coupling to a near-field probe, identifying key experimental signatures of the crossover between collisionless and hydrodynamic regimes.
