AI Article Synopsis

  • The study presents a flexible L-shaped metamaterial (FLM) THz switch featuring three resonances at 0.57, 1.05, and 1.52 THz, built on a polydimethylsiloxane substrate.
  • By stretching the FLM in different directions, the transmission intensity for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes can be manipulated, allowing for customizable responses based on polarized light.
  • This flexibility leads to potential applications in dual/triple-band switching, polarization switching, and programmable switching technologies.

Article Abstract

The design of a reconfigurable terahertz (THz) switch by using flexible L-shaped metamaterial (FLM), which is composed of dual-layer L-shaped metamaterials on polydimethylsiloxane substrate, which has three resonances at 0.57, 1.05, and 1.52 THz, is presented. By stretching the FLM along the -axis direction, the transmission intensity is increased gradually at the transverse electric mode (TE) and reduced at the transverse magnetic (TM) mode, respectively. Reversely, by stretching the FLM along the -axis direction, the transmission intensity is reduced gradually at the TE mode and increased at the TM mode, respectively. These electromagnetic responses of FLM provide the optical-logic behaviors with programmable characteristics by stretching FLM at different polarized light. It indicates that the proposed FLM could be used for the dual/triple-band switching, polarization switching, and programmable switching applications.

A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) analysis was used to investigate fetal bovine serum (FBS) protein preadsorption on a hydroxyapatite (HAp) surface and the subsequent adhesion process of fibroblasts as compared with the case of oxidized poly(styrene) (PSox). The results showed that the preadsorption of FBS proteins on HAp promoted the subsequent initial cell adhesion ability. Moreover, the measured frequency (Δ) and dissipation shift (Δ) curves, Δ-Δ plots and viscoelastic analysis were used to study the initial cell adhesion process in real time.
