Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method of creating plasmons vortex on graphene through cross shape nanoantennas under linearly polarized incidence. For each cross shape antenna, the linearly polarized incidence can be coupled to a near-field plasmons vortex on graphene through antenna resonances. When multiple antennas are arranged into a closed circular array, the sign of topological charge of plasmons vortex can be controlled by the linearly polarized direction of incident light with the distribution of absolute field component exhibiting a non-ideal donut profile. The creating of plasmons vortex on graphene may provide new possibilities in various applications, such as the nanoparticles trapping.
