Novel Theoretical Study of Plasmonic Waves in Graphene-based Cylindrical Waveguides with Gyro-electric Layers

Abstract

In this paper, we analytically study Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) in graphene-based cylindrical structures with gyroelectric layers. In the general waveguide, each graphene layer is surrounded by two various gyro-electric materials. New closed-form relations are derived for the field contributions of SPP waves. As a special case, a gyro-electric cylindrical waveguide with double-layer graphene is considered in this article. For the designed structure, the figure of merit (FOM) of 51 is reported for B= 2 T and {\mu}c=0.7 eV, at the frequency of 33 THz. It is demonstrated that the FOM of the studied waveguide is varied by tuning the chemical potential and the magnetic bias. Harnessing the gyro-electric media together with graphene layers will open a new promising platform for the design and fabrication of novel plasmonic devices in the mid-infrared region.
