Our results apply to topological insulator (TI) thin films and to two graphene sheets separated by a thin dielectric barrier layer. We find that because of strong bulk dielectric screening TI acoustic modes are locked to the top of the particle-hole continuum and therefore probably unobservable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-12-07T16:16:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.21.Ac", "73.20.Mf" ], "keywords": [ "topological insulator thin-film plasmons", "double-layer graphene", "screening ti acoustic modes", "bulk dielectric screening ti", "dielectric screening ti acoustic" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Feb", "volume": 85, "number": 8, "pages": "085443" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..85h5443P" } } }
