“…Our numerical studies do not reveal physical mechanisms. In the case of Dyakonov surface waves, it is well established that dissipative partnering materials support wider angular existence domains than do nondissipative partnering materials [17,18]. However, an analogous observation is not forthcoming for Dyakonov-Voigt surface waves.…”

Dyakonov-Voigt (DV) surface waves guided by the planar interface of (i) material A which is a uniaxial dielectric material specified by a relative permittivity dyadic with eigenvalues ε s A and ε t A , and (ii) material B which is an isotropic dielectric material with relative permittivity ε B , were numerically investigated by solving the corresponding canonical boundary-value problem. The two partnering materials are generally dissipative, with the optic axis of material A being inclined at the angle χ ∈ [0 • , 90 • ] relative to the interface plane. No solutions of the dispersion equation for DV surface waves exist when χ = 90 • . Also, no solutions exist for χ ∈ (0 • , 90 • ), when both partnering materials are nondissipative. For χ ∈ [0 • , 90 • ), the degree of dissipation of material A has a profound effect on the phase speeds, propagation lengths, and penetration depths of the DV surface waves. For mid-range values of χ, DV surface waves with negative phase velocities were found. For fixed values of ε s A and ε t A in the upper-half-complex plane, DV surface-wave propagation is only possible for large values of χ when |ε B | is very small. *

“…This is caused by the fact that the real part of β is very low within this spectral region. It should be taken into account, that the same phenomena takes place in case of the interface separating uniaxial metamaterial and isotropic medium [33].…”

Despite the fact that metal is the most common conducting constituent element in the fabrication of metamaterials, one of the advantages of graphene over metal is that its conductivity can be controlled by the Fermi energy. Here, we theoretically investigate multilayer structures comprising alternating graphene and dielectric layers as a class of hyperbolic metamaterials for THz frequencies based on a general simple model of the graphene and the dielectric layers. By employing a method of matching the tangential components of the electrical and magnetic fields, we derive the relevant dispersion relations and demonstrate that tuning can be achieved by modifying the Fermi energy. Moreover, tunability of the graphene-dielectric heterostructures can be enhanced further by changing either the thickness of the dielectric layers or the number of graphene sheets employed. Calculated dispersion relations, propagation lengths of plasmon modes in the system are presented. This allows us to characterize and categorize the modes into two groups: FerrelBerreman modes and surface plasmon polaritons. 85-90 (1985). 498-512 (1967). 39. A. McAlister and E.

“…For simplicity and explicitness, the damping term in the metal permittivity is ignored in the process of analyzing and calculating their dispersion properties, as is usually done. 9,17,18,[20][21][22][23][24] Under the EMT, this MM is equivalent to a uniaxial effective medium with the optical axis along the structure-period direction. Its effective permittivity tensor is written as…”

“…The Dyakonov surface wave was recently found to be very valuable in photonic-device field. [18][19][20][21] In contrast to the above interface system, a layered metal-dielectric MM and an isotropic dielectric form another interface system, where HSPPs should result from the interface coupling of the ordinary evanescent wave in the dielectric and the ordinary and extraordinary evanescent waves in the MM, [20][21][22][23][24] and were called the Dyakonov-like surface wave. 20,25,26 These works 20-24 took a negative constant or an experimental value at a fixed frequency to replace the real part of metal permittivity and directly used the dispersion equations in Ref.…”

Hybrid-polarization surface plasmon polaritons (HSPPs) at the interface between an isotropic medium and a one-dimensional metal–dielectric metamaterial (MM) were discussed, where the metal-layer permittivity was described with the improved Drude model. From the obtained dispersion equations, we predicated five types of HSPPs. One type is the Dyakonov-like surface polariton and another type is the tradition-like surface polarton. The others are new types of HSPPs. We establish a numerical simulation method of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurement to examine these HSPPs. The results from the ATR spectra are consistent with those from the dispersion equations and indicate the different polarization features of these HSPPs. The numerical results also demonstrate that the observation of each type of HSPPs requires different conditions dictated by the material parameters and the polarization direction of incident light used in the ATR spectra. These results may further widen the space of potential applications of surface plasmon polaritons.
