The dispersion of graphene plasmons on SiC substrate. (a) Topography image of a 1 μm × 1 μm area in Fig. 1(b). (b) The infrared near field imaging of (a) at the frequency of 1025 cm−1. (c) Topography height (upper) and normalized near field amplitude (lower) of the line profiles taken along the white dash lines in (a) and (b). (d) Relationship of graphene plasmons wavelength and incident frequency. The blue curve and black square represent the theoretical result and experimental data, respectively. The scale bar is 200 nm.
