Intrinsically Undamped Plasmon Modes in Narrow Electron Bands
arXiv:1905.13088 · doi:10.1073/pnas.1909069116
Abstract
Surface plasmons in 2-dimensional electron systems with narrow Bloch bands feature an interesting regime in which Landau damping (dissipation via electron-hole pair excitation) is completely quenched. This surprising behavior is made possible by strong coupling in narrow-band systems characterized by large values of the "fine structure" constant . Dissipation quenching occurs when dispersing plasmon modes rise above the particle-hole continuum, extending into the forbidden energy gap that is free from particle-hole excitations. The effect is predicted to be prominent in moiré graphene, where at magic twist-angle values, flat bands feature . The extinction of Landau damping enhances spatial optical coherence. Speckle-like interference, arising in the presence of disorder scattering, can serve as a telltale signature of undamped plasmons directly accessible in near-field imaging experiments.
