Non-local Plasma Spectrum of Graphene Interacting with a Thick Conductor
  Self-consistent field theory is used to obtain the non-local plasmon dispersion relation of monolayer graphene which is Coulomb-coupled to a thick conductor. We calculate numerically the undamped plasmon excitation spectrum for arbitrary wave number. For gapped graphene, both the low-frequency (acoustic) and high frequency (surface) plasmons may lie within an undamped opening in the particle-hole region. Furthermore, we obtain plasmon excitations in a region of frequency-wave vector space which do not exist for free-standing gapped graphene.
