What is the Relationship Between Permitivity and Wave Vector in Graphene?

L. DavidovichIn summary, when calculating the permitivity of graphene, it is more appropriate to treat it as a surface and use surface conductivity rather than the Drude model. The relationship between permitivity and wave vector can be found in the article "Dyadic Green’s functions and guided surface waves for a surface conductivity model of graphene" by George W. Hanson and L. Davidovich.

i'm working on a project about the surface plasmon in graphene.
i found on some articles that we don't use Drude model to calculate permitivity on graphene but they didn't mention what's the right model !
can you help me please and give me the relation that link links between permitivity and wave vector in graphene and thanks

I am not a specialist, but I would look to treat graphene as a surface, i.e. as a boundary condition, if I were you. Corresponingly, you don't want the dielectric constant - you want the surface conductivity (or surface dielectric constant, though this is not accepted as a term)

1. What is the permitivity of graphene?

The permitivity of graphene is a measure of its ability to store electric charge. It is a dimensionless quantity and is typically denoted by the Greek letter epsilon (ε).

2. How does the permitivity of graphene compare to other materials?

The permitivity of graphene is significantly higher than most other materials, including copper and silicon. This is due to its unique atomic structure and the presence of delocalized electrons, which contribute to its high electrical conductivity.

3. What factors affect the permitivity of graphene?

The permitivity of graphene is influenced by several factors, including its number of layers, the presence of impurities, and the strength of the electric field applied. It can also vary with temperature and the type of substrate it is placed on.

4. How is the permitivity of graphene measured?

The permitivity of graphene can be measured using various experimental techniques, such as capacitance measurements, scanning tunneling microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. These methods allow for the determination of the permitivity at different frequencies and under different conditions.

5. What are the applications of the high permitivity of graphene?

The high permitivity of graphene makes it a promising material for various applications, including in electronic devices, energy storage, and biomedicine. It can also be used in the development of high-performance sensors and for improving the efficiency of solar cells and batteries.
