▎ 摘  要

By integrating a graphene layer with asymmetric split-ring metamaterial (MM) metal resonators, we investigated tunable propagation properties in the terahertz regime, including the effects of graphene Fermi levels, structural parameters, and operation frequencies. The results reveal that a sharp inductor-capacitor (LC) resonance can be observed at low frequency for the asymmetric MM structure, and its Q factor can reach more than 17.5. With the help of a graphene layer, the optical response is modulated efficiently. For instance, if the Fermi level changes in the range of 0.01 - 0.3 eV, for the semiconductor MMstructure, the modulation depths (MDs) of amplitude and frequency are 27.0% and 43.4%, respectively. In addition, the resonant curves of indium antimonide (InSb) MMs can be modulated by changing the temperature; the amplitudeMDis 56.2% as the temperature changes in the range of 350 - 800 K. The Q factor of the InSb MM structure is about 44.6. The results are helpful for designing novel graphene-based tunable terahertz devices, e.g., filters and modulators.
