Tricontrollable pixelated metasurface for stopband for terahertz radiation

Abstract

Transmission of a normally incident plane wave through a pixelated metasurface with meta-atoms made up of graphene-patched and InSb-patched pixels on a silicon substrate was simulated using CST Microwave StudioTM2019 software. This metasurface is electrically controllable due to the graphene-patched pixels, and it is magnetically as well as thermally controllable due to the InSb-patched pixels. A tricontrollable stopband with minimum transmittance as low as 0.05 can be achieved for operation in the terahertz gap.
