* 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 10 [#g44f1b3a]
- Hasdeo-san picked me up from Urban Castle and showed me another bus stop nearby.
- Shoufie-san gave me a lecture on differential operators, generalized so that they can be used in curvilinear coordinates. He assigned me some homework problems due in the afternoon, mostly taking the curl or divergence of different functions in different coordinate systems.
- Met Sumino-san.

** 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.
