Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 266406 (2006) [4 pages]Thermoplasma Polariton within Scaling Theory of Single-Layer GrapheneReceived 12 July 2006; published 28 December 2006 The electrodynamics of single-layer graphene is studied in the scaling regime. At any finite temperature, there is a weakly damped collective thermoplasma polariton mode whose dispersion and wavelength-dependent damping is determined analytically. The electric and magnetic fields associated with this mode decay exponentially in the direction perpendicular to the graphene layer, but, unlike the surface plasma polariton modes of metals, the decay length and the mode frequency are strongly temperature-dependent. This may lead to new ways of generation and manipulation of these modes. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
