太赫兹超材料响应频率及频带的调控

自然界中很多材料在太赫兹(THz)频段没有电磁响应,THz超材料的出现为太赫兹技术的发展和应用带来了新的机遇.但目前超材料太赫兹响应的调节方式比较繁琐,影响了理论与应用研究的开展.作者提出一种调制太赫兹超材料响应的简易新方法,即将超材料的结构单元整体按比例地放大和缩小.仿真结果表明,已满足阻抗匹配条件的超材料结构经整体比例变化之后,仍然满足阻抗匹配条件;而且,调整后超材料的吸收频率与尺寸变化的倍数成反比;令人惊奇的是,超材料的响应频带也随着单元尺寸的整体缩小而变宽.通过这种简易的尺寸变化方式,我们可以利用普通的超材料结构,得到一定范围内对任意入射频率具有完美吸收(吸收峰值大于98%)的太赫兹超材料.这种调制方式使超材料的设计变得更加简化,为超材料的理论与应用(特别是在器件中的应用)研究提供了更广阔的空间.

Preparation and thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS coated Te nanorod/PEDOT:PSS composite films

PEDOT:PSS coated Te (PCTe) nanorod/PEDOT:PSS composite films were prepared by a drop-casting technique. H₂SO₄ treatment was employed to enhance thermoelectric (TE) properties of the composite films. The addition of PCTe nanorods increased both the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the composite films. An optimized power factor of 141.9 μW/mK² was obtained for the film containing 90 wt% PCTe nanorods treated with 12 M H₂SO₄ at room temperature, which was 2.75 times as high as that of the untreated composite film, corresponding to the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of 204.6 S/cm and 83.27 μV/K, respectively. XPS and GIWAXS analysis revealed the removal of insulating PSS units and the rearrangement of PEDOT chains after the H₂SO₄ treatment. Finally, a 9-leg TE generator prototype was fabricated using the optimized composite film. The maximum output power and area output power density produced from the prototype were 47.7 nW and 57.2 μW/cm², respectively, at the temperature difference of 40 K.     

Double-Layer Frequency Selective Surface for Terahertz Bandpass Filter

A thin, low-cost, double-layer frequency-selective surface (FSS) bandpass filter has been designed, fabricated, and measured for operation in the terahertz band. The present FSS structure is composed of double-layer tin foil with a hexagonal lattice array of circular holes. A flat passband is observed with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.20 THz from 0.81 to 1.01 THz, which is about 22% relative to the center frequency. This bandpass filter based on double-layer FSS structures achieved average insertion loss of 0.7-dB and 106.31-dB/THz band-edge steepness. We have found good agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental results.     

A Fast Terahertz Spectrometer Based on Frequency Selective Surface Filters

We present a fast spectrometer working in the 0.7–4.8 THz range. Broadband radiation from a blackbody source is focused first on a rotating silicon wafer, whose surface was patterned with 18 metal band-pass filters, then on the sample under test and finally is detected by a superconducting microbolometer with microsecond time constant. The bolometer sensor is coupled to a spiral antenna whose frequency band matches the spectral range of the filters. The spectral resolution is set by the filters quality factor of about 3. A dynamic range of 100 and a S/N ratio of 20 are achieved by integrating for less than 10 second. The detector can operate up to 6 K in a closed-cycle cooler, hence making the present apparatus suitable for building up a simple terahertz video-rate spectrometer.

Surface plasmon spectroscopy of thin composite films of Au nanoparticles and PEDOT:PSS conjugated polymer

We studied the effect of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on optical properties of composite films of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) mixed with Au NPs of 20, 40 and 60 nm in diameter by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. The excitation wavelength of SPR redshifts with increasing the concentration of Au NPs in the Au/PEDOT:PSS composite films. The SPR spectra were simulated by using transfer matrix method (TMM) and effective medium approximation (EMA). The SPR wavelength redshift was ascribed to the film thickness increase of Au/PEDOT:PSS composites rather than effective permittivity variation of the composite films induced with Au NPs inclusion.

Rectified Schottky diodes based on PEDOT:PSS/InGaZnO junctions

We report the successful use of the high-work-function, high-conductivity transparent conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS as the Schottky contact to form the Schottky junction (and thus Schottky diode) with the n-type semiconductor a-IGZO. The Schottky didoes exhibited a low apparent turn-on voltage, a high rectification ratio of >10⁵ at ±1 V, and a decent ideality factor of ∼1.5–1.6. Detailed junction properties were systematically analyzed from J-V and C-V characteristics of the diodes. We also demonstrated the applications of PEDOT:PSS/a-IGZO Schottky junctions to various types of Schottky diodes, including the flexible, the transparent, and the flexible transparent PEDOT:PSS/a-IGZO Schottky diodes, by using different substrates and different counter electrodes.     

Optimization of inkjet printed PEDOT:PSS thin films through annealing processes

PEDOT:PSS is a conductive polymer blend which is widely used as a thin functional film in the fabrication of electronic devices. Modification of PEDOT:PSS properties is usually required to enhance their performance which demands further research to gain a complete understanding. This paper is concerned with the optimization of PEDOT:PSS thin films produced by inkjet printing which is deemed as a very promising fabrication technology. Both thermal and solvent annealing were utilized to optimize the ink-jetted PEDOT:PSS thin films. It has been found that thermal annealing is relatively ineffective for the improvement of conductivity and transparency of the thin films. However, solvent annealing is introduced for inkjet printing combined with subsequent thermal annealing has induced a further increase of conductivity in the thin film.
