3D metamaterial ultra-wideband absorber for curved surface.

This paper proposes a three-dimensional metamaterial absorber based on a resistive film patch array to develop a low-cost, lightweight absorber for curved surfaces. An excellent absorption over a large frequency band is achieved through two different yet controllable mechanisms; in the first mechanism, a considerable attenuation in the wave power is achieved via graphite resistive films. The absorption is then intensified through magnetic dipoles created by the surface currents, leading to absorption peaks.

Enhancing the sensitivity of a transmissive graphene-based plasmonic biosensor.

A biosensor platform based on the plasmonic resonance of graphene in the terahertz (THz) range (0.1 to 10 THz) is designed and investigated. The initial design is to create a nanofluidic channel as a sensing layer in the substrate of a biosensor grounded by metal.
