THz Broadband Absorber Based on MoS2 with Split Rings and Archimedean Spiral Structures

Abstract

The MoS2 surface plasmon resonance structure is proposed as a THz absorber in this work. The absorber adopts a double layer structure of Archimedean spirals stacked with split rings. In 1.2–3.0 THz, the absorption is greater than 92%, and the relative absorption bandwidth reached the value of 85.7%. Due to the circular-like symmetry of the unit, the polarization of the absorber is less sensitive to the incident angle within a certain range. When the incident angle is within 60°, the absorption in the bandwidth is still greater than 85%. The design efficiency is also significantly improved by the combined method of the equivalent circuit and finite difference time domain. Our work provides new directions for the design of terahertz devices, which is of great importance for various fields including terahertz imaging, detection and sensing, and especially in 6G communication systems.

A Novel Triple-Band Terahertz Metamaterial Absorber Using a Stacked Structure of MoS2 and Graphene

“…For example, the nanoribbon structure of graphene was used to achieve three absorption peaks in [20]. In the absorbers of multilayered structures, some have broadband frequency characteristics and some have multi-band characteristics [21][22][23][24]. For example, a three-layered structure of graphene and TOPAS was used to achieve broadband absorption at 3.5 THz to 6 THz [25].…”
