Active control of circular dichroism in a graphene–metal hybridized metamaterial driven by symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum
Active control of chirality in plasmonic metamaterials is of great importance due to their potential for diverse applications in imaging, communication and spectroscopy. Recently, inspired by the concept of bound states in the continuum (BIC), strong chiroptical responses are constructed in metamaterials by introducing structural asymmetries. However, most of these chiral metamaterials are static and cannot be modulated. Herein, we theoretically demonstrate a novel approach for manipulating chiroptical responses with enhanced circular dichroism (CD) and large modulation depths in a graphene–metal hybridized metamaterial. By introducing a structured graphene and adjusting the Fermi energy (EF), the conversion between BIC and quasi-BIC states is achieved successfully. The proposed device demonstrates a tuneable CD in the range of 0.693–0.008 when EF is adjusted from 0.01 eV to 1.0 eV, which can be further improved by optimizing its geometry. The proposed graphene–metal hybridized metamaterial paves a new way for manipulating polarization states at terahertz frequencies and is of great potential for practical applications such as dynamic display and optoelectronic modulation.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
