Structure of the graphene terahertz polarization-conversion metasurface

A graphene-based terahertz metasurface provides linear-to-linear polarization conversion from 2.774 to 4.840 THz with a 54.27% relative bandwidth, and linear-to-circular conversion across 1.888–2.638 THz and 5.073–5.938 THz with relative bandwidths of 33.14% and 15.27%. Adjusting the graphene chemical potential dynamically controls conversion efficiency and axial ratio. Theoretical analysis, an admittance model, and resonant surface currents explain the mechanism, while structural-parameter and incidence-angle studies demonstrate broadband operation, high efficiency, and angular stability.

Fig.7 ResGatNet Architecture

ResGatNet addresses the loss of ViT modulation-recognition robustness under low-SNR, time-varying noise by combining a large-kernel ResNet backbone, a gated CNN, and a Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN). Large kernels expand local receptive fields, the gated module adaptively suppresses noise, and KAN strengthens global representation with lower parameter complexity. Experiments under quasi-static and time-varying noise show higher classification accuracy and generalization than the evaluated CNN and ViT baselines. The work was published in IEEE Access.

Bifunctional flexible metasurface based on graphene and vanadium dioxide for polarization conversion and absorption

Structure and unit-cell geometry of the bifunctional flexible metasurface
Structure and unit-cell geometry of the bifunctional flexible metasurface

The research began as a 2023 university innovation training project and led to a paper in Diamond and Related Materials. Its flexible microwave structure combines a metallic resonator, vanadium-dioxide films, a graphene resistive layer, polyimide dielectrics, and a copper ground plane. The VO2 insulator-to-metal transition switches between polarization-conversion and absorption modes, while graphene sheet resistance tunes the response. The design exceeds 90% polarization conversion from 6.97 to 17.62 GHz at room temperature and 90% absorptivity from 13.33 to 19.47 GHz when VO2 is metallic.

A Tri-band Metasurface Absorber

Journal of Optoelectronics·Laser · 3rd author of 6

Unit-cell structure and geometric parameters of the tri-band metasurface absorber
Unit-cell structure and geometric parameters of the tri-band metasurface absorber

To meet the application demand for multiband and perfect absorbers, this paper presents a tri-band metasurface absorber composed of a patterned metal layer, an intermediate dielectric layer, and a metal ground plane. The absorber achieves absorption rates of 99.98%, 99.94%, and 99.98% at resonant frequencies of 5.16 GHz (C band), 7.27 GHz (C band), and 8.32 GHz (X band), respectively, enabling near-perfect absorption. Impedance-matching theory explains the formation of the three resonances, while simulated surface-current, electric-field, and magnetic-field distributions reveal the tri-band absorption mechanism. Changing the number of metal patterns on the top layer enables single-, dual-, and tri-band control. The dependence on polarization and incidence angles also demonstrates polarization insensitivity and wide-angle stability from 0 to 60 degrees. The proposed absorber is easy to design and lightweight, with potential applications in electromagnetic absorption, stealth, and sensing.
