▎ 摘  要

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures have become a promising platform for polarization converters and molecular analysis. However, the circular dichroism (CD) of planar chiral plasmonic nanostructures is always weak and difficult for dynamic adjustment. In this work, graphene sheets (GSs) are introduced in planar metal chiral split rings (MCSRs) to enhance and dynamically adjust their CD effect. The chiral split rings consist of rotated big and small split rings. Simulation results show that the plasmonic coupling between MCSRs and GSs can enhance the absorption and CD spectra of MCSRs at two resonant wavelengths. The surface current distributions reveal that the CD signals are due to the localized surface plasmon resonances on the big and small split rings, respectively. The loss distributions illustrate that the increased loss mainly locates in GSs. In addition, the CD spectra of MCSRs/GSs can be dynamically adjusted and influenced by the Fermi energy of GSs, the geometric parameters of MCSRs and, the mediums in the environment. It can be used to detect the environmental temperature and concentration. The results help to design dynamically adjustable chiral nanostructures and promote their applications in environment detection.
