(abstract)

We use momentum-dependent electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission to study collective charge excitations in the "strange" layer metal Sr2RuO4. We cover a complete range between in-plane and out-of-plane oscillations. Outside of the classical range of electron-hole excitations, leading to a Landau damping, we observe well defined plasmons. The optical (acoustic) plasmon due to an in-phase (out-of-phase) charge oscillation of neighbouring layers exhibits a quadratic (linear) dispersion. Using a model for the Coulomb interaction of the charges in a lay- ered system, it is possible to describe the complete range of plasmon excitations in a mean-field random phase approximation without taking correlation effects into account. There are no signs of over-damped plasmons predicted by holographic theories. This indicates that long wave- length charge excitations are not influenced by local correlation effects such as on-site Coulomb interaction and Hund’s exchange interaction.
