Theoretical investigations are carried out to study hybrid SPP wave propagation along the Chiral-Graphene-Metal (CGM) interface. The Kubo formulism is used for the physical modeling of single-layer graphene and the impedance boundary conditions approach is applied at the CGM interface to compute the dispersion relationship for hybrid SPP waves. It is demonstrated that the chirality (ξ) and chemical potential (μc) parameters can be used to modulate the resonance surface plasmon frequencies of the upper and lower propagating modes. Furthermore, the propagation bandgap between the upper and the lower modes can be tuned by changing the chirality parameter. The effect of the chemical potential (μc)and the relaxation time (τ) on the normalized propagation constant, propagation length, and the effective refractive index is studied. The present work may have potential applications in optical and chiral sensing in the terahertz frequency range.
