    A new electromagnetic mode in graphene

    Full text link
    A new, weakly damped, {\em transverse} electromagnetic mode is predicted in graphene. The mode frequency ω\omega lies in the window 1.667<ℏω/μ<21.667<\hbar\omega/\mu<2, where μ\mu is the chemical potential, and can be tuned from radiowaves to the infrared by changing the density of charge carriers through a gate voltage.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    On the eigenvalue spacing distribution for a point scatterer on the flat torus

    Full text link
    We study the level spacing distribution for the spectrum of a point scatterer on a flat torus. In the 2-dimensional case, we show that in the weak coupling regime the eigenvalue spacing distribution coincides with that of the spectrum of the Laplacian (ignoring multiplicties), by showing that the perturbed eigenvalues generically clump with the unperturbed ones on the scale of the mean level spacing. We also study the three dimensional case, where the situation is very different.Comment: 25 page
