Anomalous acoustic plasmons in two-dimensional over-tilted Dirac bands
-
Abstract
The over-tilting of Dirac cones has led to various fascinating quantum phenomena. Here we find that two anomalous acoustic plasmons (AAPs) are dictated by the distinct geometry of twodimensional (2D) type-II Dirac cones, far beyond the conventional √q plasmon. One AAP originates from the strong hybridization of two pockets with large velocity anisotropy at one Dirac point, whereas the other is attributed to the significant enhancement of the band correlation around the open Fermi surface. Remarkably, the plasmons exhibit valley-dependent chirality along the tilting direction due to the chiral electron dispersion. Meanwhile, we discuss the tunability of plasmon dispersion and lifetime by tuning the gap and dielectric substrate. Our work provides a promising way to generate the novel plasmons in Dirac materials.
