Abstract

We study collective excitations of a two-dimensional electron system consisting of two kinds of charge carriers: relativistic or Dirac electrons with linear dispersion and nonrelativistic electrons with parabolic dispersion. We find that the strength of the interaction between the different charge carriers, i.e., the interspecies interaction, plays a significant role in determining the number of plasmon modes as well as their dispersions in certain parameter regimes.
