Tailoring plasmon excitations in $$\alpha -{\mathcal {T}}_3$$ α - T 3 armchair nanoribbons

Abstract We have calculated and investigated the electronic states, dynamical polarization function and the plasmon excitations for $$\alpha -{\mathcal {T}}_3$$ α - T 3 nanoribbons with armchair-edge termination. The obtained plasmon dispersions are found to depend significantly on the number of ato...
