Abstract
The dynamical and nonlocal dielectric function of a two-dimensional electron gas with finite-energy bandwidth is computed within a random-phase approximation. For large bandwidth, the plasmon dispersion has two separate branches at small and large momenta. The large-momenta branch exhibits negative quasiflat dispersion. The two branches merge with decreasing bandwidth. We discuss how the maximum-energy plasmon mode, which resides at energies larger than all particle-hole continuum, can potentially open a route to low-loss plasmons. Moreover, we discuss the bandwidth effects on the static screening of the charged and magnetic impurities.
