Magnetodispersion of Two-Dimensional Plasmon Polaritons

Abstract

We have investigated the spectrum of two-dimensional (2D) plasmon polaritons over the full range of magnetic fields. In our study, we investigate a disk-shaped two-dimensional electron system (2DES) with a metallic gate on the backside of the substrate. Importantly, we show that 2D plasmon polaritons hybridize with the TM$_0$ photonic mode of a dielectric waveguide formed by a sample substrate. We have developed a theory for plasmon-polaritons in an infinite 2DES. We find the experimental data to be in good agreement with the developed theory.
