研究目的
To theoretically study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional photonic crystals consisting of two different dielectric slabs separated by graphene, introducing randomness by using a Gaussian distribution of thickness with a specific standard deviation σ, and to investigate how the presence of such randomness can change the light transmission spectra and the emergence of robust photonic band gaps.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the graphene-induced photonic band gap (GIPBG) and the 1st Bragg gap (1 BG) are robust against the randomness introduced by the Gaussian distribution of layer thicknesses. The GIPBG width can be adjusted by tuning the chemical potential μc with an external gate voltage. The system can behave like a perfect transparent media for certain configurations, which is useful for technological applications.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and does not include experimental validation. The practical implementation of embedding graphene sheets between dielectric layers and applying a gate voltage to each graphene layer is challenging.
