Abstract

In the present study, a design of a novel metamaterial absorber is proposed. It consists of a gold substrate at the bottom, a dielectric layer filled with silica in the middle, and a top layer of specially patterned graphene as the covering. The absorber we designed has a straightforward structure, is convenient to fabricate, and has a period of 6.1 μm. As simulated by FDTD Solution, the absorber absorption peaks are located at 6.1328 THz, 10.7916 THz, 16.4188 THz, 20.8016 THz, 22.9118 THz, and 25.1303 THz. The absorptivity of the six absorption peaks were 95.82 %, 92.58 %, 96.31 %, 99.56 %, 93.67 %, and 99.62 %, respectively, and the average absorptivity reached 96.26 %. The absorber, additionally, shows…
