In this work we present a theory of the plasmon excitation spectrum of massless Dirac fermions in a moir\\'e superlattice. We demonstrate that graphene-hBN stacks offer a rich platform for plasmonics in which control of plasmon modes can occur not only via electrostatic gating but also by adjusting e.g. the relative crystallographic", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-10T14:39:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.20.Mf", "42.30.Ms", "78.67.Wj" ], "keywords": [ "graphene superlattices", "generation", "ensures superb electronic properties", "graphene-hbn stacks offer", "plasmon excitation spectrum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.90.161406", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2014, "month": "Oct", "volume": 90, "number": 16, "pages": 161406 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvB..90p1406T" } } }
