Abstract Details: In this talk I will review recent progress in the rapidly evolving field of `graphene plasmonics' [1]. In particular, I will focus on the fundamental properties of Dirac plasmons [2,3] in a doped graphene sheet, highlighting the subtle differences with plasmons in ordinary metals and parabolic-band two-dimensional electron liquids. I will then discuss two factors limiting the plasmon lifetime in single-layer graphene, namely electron-impurity scattering [4] and electron-electron collisions beyond the random phase approximation [5]. Finally, I will briefly advertise on-going experimental work in Pisa [6] related to the use of Dirac plasmons for efficient detection of Terahertz radiation in single-layer and bilayer graphene field-effect transistors.
