Elementary electronic excitations, which are due to the Coulomb-field scatterings, present the diverse phenomena in 3D, 2D, 1D-nanotube electron gases, graphene and carbon nanotubes. The critical mechanisms cover the dimension-dependent bare Coulomb potentials, energy dispersions, and free/valence carrier density. They are responsible for the main features, the available excitation channels (the electron-hole regions), the joint van Hove singularities, the undamped/damped collective excitations at small/sufficiently high transferred momenta, the momentum dependences of plasmon frequencies (acoustic and optical modes), and their categories (the intraband and inter-pi-band plasmons). There exists certain significant similarities and difference among various systems. The (momentum/ angular momentum, frequency)-excitation phase diagrams are directly reflected in the propagation of plasma waves.
