▎ 摘  要

By patterning two graphene resonators on a SiO2/Si substrate, a dynamically controlled electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the terahertz graphene metamaterial was numerically studied through tuning the structural parameter and Fermi energy of graphene. The calculated surface current distributions demonstrate that the distinct EIT window in the graphene metamaterial results from the near-field coupling of two graphene resonators. Moreover, the EIT window can be actively controlled by tuning Fermi energy combined states of two resonators. When the Fermi energy combined state of two resonators changes from (0.21 and 0.16 eV) to (0.4 and 0.11 eV), the amplitude modulation depth of the EIT peak is 97.8% at 0.45 THz, and the corresponding enhanced factor of group delay with 6 times is obtained. This study offers an alternative tuning method to existing optical, thermal, and relative distance tuning, delivering a promising potential for designing active and miniaturized THz devices.
