Anomalous skew scattering of plasmons in a Dirac electron fluid
arXiv:2501.01566 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.165404
Abstract
The Berry phase-related nontrivial electronic band geometries can significantly influence bulk and edge plasmons resulting in their non-reciprocal propagation and opening new opportunities for plasmonics. In the present work, we extend the hydrodynamic framework to describe the scattering of plasmons in a Dirac electron fluid off a circular region with an induced nonzero anomalous Hall response, i.e. a Berry flux target. We demonstrate that the scattering has a giant asymmetry or skewness and exhibits a series of resonances. The latter appears due to a chiral non-topological trapped mode circulating the target. We discuss possible experimental realizations, including the surface of a topological insulator film and graphene irradiated by the circularly polarized beam.
