  • Abstract
    Fundamental properties of surface plasmon polariton modes propagating along graphene nanoribbons are investigated by means of a full-wave method-of-moments approach adopting a spatially dispersive dyadic model for graphene conductivity. Modal propagation, current profiles, field distributions, and characteristic impedances are studied in detail showing the dramatic effects of spatial dispersion and the need to go beyond the usual weak (low- q) spatial dispersion formulation.
