Abstract

An infinite sheet of graphene lying above a perturbed ground plane is studied. The perturbation is a two-dimensional ridge, and a bias voltage is applied between the graphene and the ground plane, resulting in a graphene nanoribbon-like structure with a soft boundary (SB). The spatial distribution of the graphene conductivity forming the SB is studied as a function of the ridge parameters and the bias voltage. The current distribution of the fundamental transverse magnetic surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is considered. The effect of the ridge parameters and shape of the SB on the current distributions are investigated, and the conditions are studied under which the mode remains confined to the vicinity of the ridge region.
