Surface plasmons in Weyl semimetals
The surface plasmon excitation spectrum is calculated for the Weyl semimetal within the random phase approximation. Recently, a surface plasmon mode has been predicted to exist at the three-dimensional Dirac semimetal surface due to the Dirac plasmon mode in the bulk. In addition, Weyl semimetals possess Fermi arc electron states on their surfaces resulting in an anisotropic Fermi arc plasmon mode. In the present work we consider the modification of the surface plasmon mode due to the Fermi arc plasmon mode. We introduce an effective surface dielectric function of Fermi arc electrons which comprises the Fermi arc plasmon mode and the surface dielectric function that determines the bare surface plasmon mode present due to the plasmon mode in the bulk from Weyl electrons. As a result, we obtain the dispersion of the renormalized surface plasmon mode from the effective surface dielectric function. We find that a renormalization of the bare surface plasmon mode increases with increases in the Fermi arc plasmon frequency. The obtained spectrum will be useful for experimentally exploring the surface spectral properties of Weyl semimetals.
