However, BP-based PIT sensors typically suffer from poor tunability and low figures of merit (FOM). To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a highly sensitive and tunable PIT terahertz metasurface based on a graphene-black phosphorus (GP-BP) hybrid structure. The metasurface comprises two identical patterned layers, each consisting of a cross-shaped resonator coupled with a closed rectangular ring resonator. Using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we demonstrate that the PIT transmission window arises from the coupling between the bright modes of these structures. By varying the ambient refractive index from 1.0 to 1.7, the metasurface achieves a maximum sensitivity of 4.22 THz/RIU and an FOM of 7.495 in the terahertz band. Furthermore, increasing electron doping in BP induces a significant red shift in the sensor's transmission spectrum. The PIT resonance frequency can also be dynamically modulated by adjusting the terahertz wave polarization and the graphene Fermi level. Additionally, the transmission spectrum exhibits minimal sensitivity to variations in the incident angle. These characteristics highlight the proposed sensor's significant potential for terahertz biosensing applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"337 ","pages":"Article 172458"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144470217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna employs a combination of mushroom-type Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structures and inverted L-shaped slots to realize five distinct notched bands at 3.5, 4.1, 5.0, 6.7, and 7.8 GHz, each exhibiting rejection levels better than −4 dB. This effectively mitigates interference from WiMAX, INSAT, Wi-Fi (5 G), Wi-Fi-6E (6 G), and X-band uplink services. The four antenna elements are arranged face-to-face to minimize mutual coupling and ensure improved isolation. Notching is achieved using two square mushroom EBG structures, a spiral-slot EBG near the feedline, and three inverted L-shaped slots on the radiating surface. To enhance compactness further, a spiral-shaped defect is incorporated into one of the EBGs. Additionally, two square EBGs placed symmetrically beside the feedline enable the 5.5 GHz notch. The antenna occupies a compact footprint of 45.3 × 69.8 × 1.6 mm³ and demonstrates excellent diversity performance, with Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) values below 0.02 and Diversity Gain (DG) near 10 dB.

The effects of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of CdS film were thoroughly investigated by combining various experimental techniques with first-principles calculations. The results showed that the unannealed precursor of CdS film has poor crystallinity and low transmittance, with unreacted Cd present. Annealing significantly improves crystallinity of CdS films. The transmittance and stoichiometric ratio initially increase with annealing temperature but decrease at higher temperatures. Optimal annealing conditions enable a complete transformation of precursors into CdS films, while excessive temperatures lead to the escape of sulfur and the formation of sulfur vacancies.

However, most existing research has concentrated on lower frequency bands (e.g., S-band and X-band), with relatively little attention paid to the mm-wave range (K and Ka bands), which is essential for next-generation 5 G communications. To address this gap, a double-layer FSS (D-FSS) is proposed, composed of two spatially separated single-layer FSSs (S-FSSs).

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a temperature-dependent transition from an amorphous to a crystalline phase. Morphological analyses conducted with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated a trend towards a smoother surface as both the annealing temperature and PaO₂ rose.

Significantly, the film fabricated at 0.3 mTorr and subjected to room temperature (RT) annealing showed cracks, indicating inherent stress in the film. Electrochemical evaluations revealed that the WO₃ film deposited at 0.5 mTorr and annealed later at 200 °C demonstrated enhanced redox performance, better diffusion of ions, and remarkable reversibility.
