Enhanced and tunable surface plasmons in two-dimensional stacks: Electronic structure versus boundary effects

V Mauchamp, M Bugnet, EP Bellido, GA Botton… - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
The dielectric response of two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 stacked sheets was investigated by
high-resolution transmission electron energy-loss spectroscopy and ab initio calculations in
the 0.2–30-eV energy range. Intense surface plasmons (SPs), evidenced at the nanometer
scale at energies as low as 0.3 eV, are shown to be the dominant screening process up to at
least 45-nm-thick stacks. This domination results from a combination of efficient free-electron
dynamics, begrenzungs effect, and reduced interband damping. It is shown that, in principle …
The dielectric response of two-dimensional (2D) stacked sheets was investigated by high-resolution transmission electron energy-loss spectroscopy and ab initio calculations in the 0.2–30-eV energy range. Intense surface plasmons (SPs), evidenced at the nanometer scale at energies as low as 0.3 eV, are shown to be the dominant screening process up to at least 45-nm-thick stacks. This domination results from a combination of efficient free-electron dynamics, begrenzungs effect, and reduced interband damping. It is shown that, in principle, the SPs energies can be tuned in the mid-infrared, from 0.2 to 0.7 eV, by controlling the sheets' functionalization and/or thickness. This point evidences a new attribute of this new class of 2D materials.
