Ballistic surface plasmons in high mobility Dirac liquid of graphene — •Dmitri Basov — Columbia University, New York NY USA

Optical spectroscopies are an invaluable resource for exploring new physic of new quantum materials. Surface plasmon polaritons and other forms of hybrid light-matter polaritons provide new opportunities for advancing this line of inquiry. In particular, polaritonic images obtained with modern nano-infrared tools grant us access into regions of the dispersion relations of various excitations beyond what is attainable with conventional optics. I will discuss this emerging direction of research with two examples from graphene physics: i) ultrafast dynamics of hot photo-excited electrons [2]; and ii) ballistic electronic transport at low temperatures [3].
