Collective excitations in topologically nontrivial systems have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Here we study plasmons in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model whose low-energy electronic band is only partially filled, such that the system is metallic. Using the random phase approximation, we calculate the intra- and interband polarization functions and determine the bulk plasmonic dispersion from the dielectric function. In this work, we find that the sublattice basis states strongly affect the polarization functions and therefore control the system’s plasmonic excitations. By varying the real-space separation of these local orbitals, one can thus selectively enhance or suppress the plasmonic energies via a tunable trade-off between intraband and interband screening processes. Specifically, this mechanism can be used to stabilize undamped high energy plasmons that have already been reported in related models. We propose scenarios on how to control and observe these effects in experiments.
