▎ 摘  要

We report the plasmon dispersion characteristics of intrinsic and extrinsic armchair graphene nanoribbons of atomic width N = 5 using a p(z)-orbital tight binding model with third-nearest-neighbor (3nn) coupling. The hopping parameters are obtained by fitting the 3nn dispersions to those of an extended Huckel theory. The resultant massive Dirac fermion system has a band gap E-g approximate to 64 meV. The extrinsic plasmon dispersion relation is found to asymptotically approach a universal dispersion curve as the chemical potential mu increases, whereas the intrinsic plasmon dispersion relation is found to have both energy and momentum thresholds. We also report an analytical model for the extrinsic plasmon group velocity in the q -> 0 limit.
