RPA Plasmons in Graphene Nanoribbons: Influence of a VO2 Substrate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We study the effect of the phase-change material VO2 on plasmons in metallic arm-chair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) within the random-phase approximation (RPA) for intra- and inter-band transitions. We assess the influence of temperature as a knob for the transition from the insulating to the metallic phase of VO2 on localized and propagating plasmon modes. We show that AGNRs support localized and propagating plasmon modes and contrast them in the presence and absence of VO2 for intra-band (SB) transitions while neglecting the influence of a substrate-induced band gap. The presence of this gap results in propagating plasmon modes in two-band (TB) transitions. In addition, there is a critical band gap below and above which propagating modes have a linear negative or positive velocity. Increasing the band gap shifts the propagating and localized modes to higher frequencies. In addition, we show how the normalized Fermi velocity increases plasmon modes frequency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
