▎ 摘  要

An absorber based on hybrid metamaterial with vanadium dioxide and graphene has been proposed to achieve dynamically switchable dual-broadband absorption property in the terahertz regime. Due to the phase transition of vanadium dioxide and the electrical tunable property of graphene, the dynamically switchablc dual-broadband absorption property is implemented. When the vanadium dioxide is in the metallic phase, the Fermi energy level of graphene is set as zero simultaneously, the high-frequency broadband from 2.05 THz to 4.30 THz can be achieved with the absorptance more than 90%. The tunable absorptance can be realized through thermal control on the conductivity of the vanadium dioxide. The proposed device acts as a low-frequency broadband absorber if the vanadium dioxide is in the insulating phase, for which the Fermi energy level of graphene varies from to 0.1 eV to 0.7 eV. The low-frequency broadband possesses high absorptance which is maintained above 90% from 1.10 THz to 2.30 THz. The absorption intensity can be continuously adjusted from 5.2% to 99.8% by electrically controlling the Fermi energy level of graphene. The absorption window can be further broadened by adjusting the geometrical parameters. Furthermore, the influence of incidence angle on the absorption spectra has been investigated. The proposed absorber has potential applications in the terahertz regime, such as filtering, sensing, cloaking objects, and switches.
