Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop an electrodynamic method for calculating the plasmon spectrum in a three-dimensional structure with a two-dimensional electron gas excited by an incident electromagnetic wave. Methods. The developed method is based on solving integral equations formed with respect to induced currents in the conducting parts of a three-dimensional structure. Results. The convergence of the method and the calculation time were studied. The conditions for the convergence of calculations of higher plasmon resonances in a rectangular structure with a two-dimensional electron gas are determined. The normal incidence of an arbitrarily polarized electromagnetic wave on a rectangle with a two-dimensional gas is studied. The spectra of the absorption, extinction, forward and back scattering cross sections of the incident wave are calculated. Conclusion. It is found that in a rectangular structure containing a two-dimensional electron gas, the spectrum of plasmon resonances is modified in comparison with established by two-dimensional models of problem formulation, in which the structure is assumed to be infinite and homogeneous in one of the directions. It has been established that the incident wave most effectively excites fundamental plasmon modes. Plasmonic modes exhibit strong charge accumulation at the edges of the rectangle, which significantly affects the resonant excitation frequencies of plasmonic modes.
