“…The simulation was performed under vacuum condition. In reality, according to the literatures [35,36,37,38], some researches have widely utilized COMSOL simulation to study the resonant behaviors of monolayer or multilayer graphene diaphragms. Hence, COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a was introduced in the paper.…”
Section: The Model Adapted To Opto-thermal F-p Resonance Measurementmentioning
An opto-thermally excited optical fiber Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant probe with suspended clamped circular graphene diaphragm is presented in this paper. Then, the dependence of resonance frequency behaviors of graphene diaphragm upon opto-mechanical factors including membrane properties, laser excitation parameters and film boundary conditions are investigated via COMSOL Multiphysics simulation. The results show that the radius and thickness of membrane will linearly affect the optical fiber light-induced temperature distribution, thus resulting in rapidly decreasing resonance frequency changes with the radius-to-thickness ratio. Moreover, the prestress can be regulated in the range of 108 Pa to 109 Pa by altering the environmental temperature with a scale factor of 14.2 MPa/K. It is important to note that the availability of F-P resonant probe with a defective clamped circular graphene membrane can be improved notably by fabricating the defected circular membrane to a double-end clamped beam, which gives a broader perspective to characterize the resonance performance of opto-thermally excited F-P resonators.

“…Then, the module “Swept Mesh” is established by regulating the number, size and distribution of mesh in the thickness direction of membrane, thereby ensuring the computing integrity and accuracy of simulation. It is worth noting that, currently the COMSOL simulations have been widely adopted to investigate mechanical, optical and thermal behaviors of graphene-based beam, coating and ribbon with single-layer, few-layer or multi-layer thickness [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. For these reasons, we can conclude that the resonant characteristics of the proposed graphene accelerometer obtained by COMSOL multiphysics simulation are effective and convincing in the manuscript.…”
Section: Structural Optimization and Simulationmentioning
A novel, ultrahigh-sensitivity wide-range resonant micro-accelerometer using two differential double-clamped monolayer graphene beams is designed and investigated by steady-state simulation via COMSOL Multiphysics software in this paper. Along with stiffness-enhanced optimized folded support beams, two symmetrical 3-GPa prestressed graphene nano-beams serve as resonant sensitive elements with a size of 10 μm × 1 μm (length × width) to increase the acceleration sensitivity while extending the measurement range. The simulation results show that the accelerometer with cascade-connected graphene and proof-mass assembly exhibits the ultrahigh sensitivity of 21,224 Hz/g and quality factor of 9773 in the range of 0–1000 g. This is remarkably superior to previously reported studies characterized by attaching proof mass to the graphene components directly. The proposed accelerometer shows great potential as an alternative to quartz and silicon-based resonant sensors in high-impact and highly sensitive inertial measurement applications.
“…On this basis, parallel SPWs can be constructed. [27][28][29] The nested surface plasmon waveguide coated with graphene is a research hotspot. In 2015, Yang et al designed a circular dielectric nanowire waveguide coated with two layers of graphene, [13] which can be regarded as a coaxial waveguide formed by embedding one graphene-coated dielectric nanowire into the axis of the other.…”
A kind of nested eccentric waveguide constructed with two cylindrical nanowires coated with graphene was designed. The mode characteristics of this waveguide were studied using the multipole method. It was found that the three lowest modes (mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2) can be combined by the zero-order mode or/and the first-order modes of two single nanowires. Mode 0 has a higher figure of merit and the best performance among these modes within the parameter range of interest. The mode characteristics can be adjusted by changing the parameters of the waveguide. For example, the propagation length will be increased when the operating wavelength, the minimum spacing between the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder radius and the Fermi energy are increased. However, when the outer cylinder radius, the dielectric constants of region I, or the dielectric constants of region III are increased, the opposite effect can be seen. These results are consistent with the results obtained using the finite element method (FEM). The waveguide structure designed in this paper is easy to fabricate and can be applied to the field of micro/nano sensing.
