Possible dimensionality transition behavior in localized plasmon resonances of confinement-controlled graphene devices

Abstract

We investigated the dimensionality transition behavior of graphene localized plasmon resonances in confinement-controlled graphene devices. We first demonstrated a possibility of dimensionality transition, based on the devices carrier-density dependence, from a two-dimensional plasmon resonance to a one-dimensional plasmon one. We fabricated optical transparent devices and electrical transport devices on the same optical transparent wafer. These devices allow detailed control and analysis between carrier density and plasmon resonance peak positions. The carrier density from (two-dimensional) to constant (one-dimensional) is consistent with the theoretical predictions based on the Dirac Fermion carriers in linear-band structure materials.
