An extended chiral surface coordination network based on Ag <sub/>7</sub> -clusters
摘要： We present an extended metal-coordinated structure obtained by deposition of trimesic acid (TMA) onto the Ag(111) surface under ultra-high vacuum conditions followed by annealing to 510 K. Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal the structure to consist of metal clusters containing seven Ag atoms each, coordinated by six dehydrogenated TMA molecules. The molecules are asymmetrically arranged, resulting in a chiral structure. The calculations confirm that this structure has a lower free energy under the experimental conditions than the hydrogen-bonded structures observed after annealing at lower temperatures. We show that the formation of such large metal clusters is possible due to the low adatom formation energy on silver and the relatively strong Ag-O bond in combination with a good lattice match between the structure and the Ag surface.

Broadband high-efficiency cross-polarization conversion and multi-functional wavefront manipulation based on chiral structure metasurface for terahertz wave
摘要： In this paper, a broadband and high-efficient tri-layered chiral structure metasurface (CSM) for linear polarization conversion and multi-functional wavefront manipulation was proposed and investigated numerically in terahertz region. The unit-cell of the proposed CSM consist of two orthogonal metal wires sandwiched with square split-ring resonator (SRR) structure, which can manipulate the polarization and wavefront of the transmitted wave simultaneously. Based on the Fabry-Perot-like cavity-enhanced effect of proposed CSM, broadband and high-efficiency cross-polarization conversion can be achieved. Numerical simulation results indicate that the cross-polarization transmission coefficient is higher than 0.9 from 0.4 THz to 1.0 THz, with a fractional bandwidth of 85.7%. The proposed CSM can achieve complete 2π phase coverage by adjusting the geometric parameters of the unit-cell structure. As a proof of multi-functional wavefront manipulation, anomalous refraction with a wide angle, two kinds of focusing metalenses and vortex beam generation are investigated to verify the multi-functional wavefront manipulation performance of the proposed CSM. Our work provides an effective method of enhancing the performance of transmission-type metasurface and the proposed devices show endless potential in wavefront control and communication applications in terahertz region.
