der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, which are produced by the
precise assemblies of varieties of two-dimensional (2D) materials,
have demonstrated many novel properties and functionalities. Here
we report a nanoplasmonic study of vdW heterostructures that were
produced by depositing ordered molecular layers of pentacene on top
of graphene. We find through nanoinfrared (IR) imaging that surface
plasmons formed due to the collective oscillations of Dirac Fermions
in graphene are highly sensitive to the adjacent pentacene layers.
In particular, the plasmon wavelength declines systematically but
nonlinearly with increasing pentacene thickness. Further analysis
and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the
observed peculiar thickness dependence is mainly due to the tunneling-type
electron transfer from pentacene to graphene. Our work unveils a new
method for tailoring graphene plasmons and deepens our understanding
of the intriguing nano-optical phenomena due to interlayer couplings
in novel vdW heterostructures.
