* Goal of the project. [#goal]

- To describe the coupling between plasmons in graphene and EM waves. The result of this coupling is a wave called a surface plasmon polariton (SPP).
- Keywords: Surface plasmon, graphene, coupling, surface plasmon polariton.

- Tutorial takes place in Coffee room, since visitor room will be occupied with many people
-(B) means the topic is taken from book : Plasmonics Fundamentals and Applications

* Questions and Answers [#QA]

- This section is for posting questions from Ben-san and answers from other group members.
- Please list here with some simple reasons or details.
- For every problem, give a tag double asterisks (**) in the code so that it will appear in the table of contents.
- For the answer, give a tag triple asterisks (***) in the code below the problem in order to make a proper alignment.
- List from new to old.

* Report [#report]

** June 9 [#d426147a]
- Thomas-san picked me up from Urban Castle Kawauchi (UCK). He showed me how to get to the lab, and the location of the bus stop. 
- I was introduced to the other lab members, Saito-sensei, and the secretaries.
- Saito-sensei, Hasdeo-san, and Thomas-san set up a computer for me to use in the guest office. 
- Hasdeo-san and Thomas-san helped me set up an account on Xming and helped me get a Thunderbird email account.
- Looked up material regarding plasmons, plasma oscillations, phonons, and polaritons.
