However, excitation and further detection of TE plasmons supported by graphene is challenging for they are extremely sensitive to excitation environment and weakly bound at finite temperatures. Here for the first time, we present feasible and effective approach to direct optical probing of TE plasmons demonstrating significant plasmonic coupling to an incident wave in electrically doped multilayer graphene sheet. Obtained access to graphene's TE plasmonic excitation enables potential employing of this unique phenomenon in the fields of metamaterials, plasmonics, and characterization of graphene.","PeriodicalId":143626,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115544765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we calculate the response of practical samples of artificial diamagnetics, taking their discrete structure and finite size into account, and find that predictions of effective medium theory are much better applicable to non-resonant structures than to resonant ones.","PeriodicalId":143626,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127695925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
