研究目的
To identify a simple ruler equation for precisely tailoring the resonance frequency of terahertz U-shaped metamaterials and demonstrate its application in controlling spectral responses.
研究成果
The ruler equation accurately predicts resonance frequencies in terahertz U-shaped metamaterials, enabling precise tailoring of spectral responses. It simplifies design processes for functional devices like filters and sensors, and demonstrates practical utility in switching multi-band resonators. Future work could integrate machine learning for automated optimization.
研究不足
The study focuses on weak coupling cases for the m=1 mode of LSPRs; strong coupling and higher-order modes may require additional parameters. The ruler equation's applicability is limited to specific geometries and may not account for all coupling effects or material variations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves designing U-shaped metamaterials (single and double structures) on silicon substrates, using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and CST simulation for transmission spectra under x-polarized illumination and normal incidence. Theoretical models include the ruler equation derived from localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples are U-shaped aluminum structures with varying geometric parameters (e.g., lengths L1, L2, L3, width w, period P) fabricated on silicon substrates. Data are obtained from experimental measurements and simulations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes THz-TDS system and CST simulation software. Materials include aluminum for structures and silicon for substrates.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabricate metamaterial samples, measure transmission spectra using THz-TDS, simulate with CST, extract resonance frequencies, and fit data to the ruler equation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analyze transmission spectra to identify resonance dips, fit experimental and simulated data to the ruler equation using parameters like effective refractive index neff and δm, and validate with different U-shaped configurations.
