Abstract
In this paper, we have numerically investigated the magneto-optical (MO) properties, and figure of merit (FOM) behavior of the reflected light from a layered structure composed of two graphene sheets, an InAs, a Polyimide, and an Aluminum layers with the arrangement of Graphene/InAs/Graphene/Polyimide/Al at the terahertz frequency region. An external magnetic field is applied to the structure along with the light propagation direction to induce the gyrotropic properties of the graphene sheets and the InAs layer. The developed 4 by 4 transfer matrix method is used to study the MO responses including the intensity reflection coefficient, Kerr rotation, and ellipticity angles spectra of the structure. At first, we compared the MO responses of the structures in the presence and absence of two graphene sheets. The results demonstrated that the performance of the structure in the presence of graphene sheets is higher than in the case without graphene sheets. To continue, the effects of applied magnetic field strength, the charge carrier density of graphene, and the InAs layer thickness have been studied for the structure with graphene sheets. The results revealed that the performance of the structure would be controlled and tuned by the investigated parameters.
期刊介绍:
Superlattices and Microstructures has continued as Micro and Nanostructures. Micro and Nanostructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of micro-structures and nano-structures in materials and their devices, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:
• Novel micro and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials (nanowires, nanodots, 2D materials ) and devices
• Synthetic heterostructures
• Plasmonics
• Micro and nano-defects in materials (semiconductor, metal and insulators)
• Surfaces and interfaces of thin films
In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
