CONDITION FOR THE FORMATION OF ACOUSTIC PLASMONS IN METALS
金属中声学等离激元的产生条件

By analysing the dielectric function of an interacting Bloch electron gas, the condition for the formation of acoustic plasmons (AP) as well-defined quasiparticles in metals has been derived. Discussions are given on whether this condition is satisfied for A-15 compounds, with the conclusion that the evidence for the existence of AP as a kind of quasiparticle in these compounds is insufficient until now.
