A quadruple-function dynamically tunable terahertz absorber that uses a hybrid configuration of graphene and vanadium dioxide is proposed in this paper. The absorber achieves dynamic conversion of four functions in one structure: ultra-broadband, broadband, single-frequency narrowband and dual-frequency narrowband, by utilizing the electrical control properties of graphene and the phase-shifting properties of vanadium dioxide. Furthermore, the paper also reveals the physical mechanism of the proposed absorber through the electric field distribution and impedance matching theory. In addition, the influences of the Fermi energy level of graphene and the electrical conductivity of vanadium dioxide on the absorption spectra are investigated, demonstrating the structure's dynamic tunability. Due to the above features, the designed absorber is expected to have potential applications in terahertz imaging, modulation and filtering.

Integrating metal nanoparticles with vanadium dioxide (VO) is an effective means to realize active plasmonic regulation which has great application potential in optical devices that respond in real-time to external stimuli. However, the high temperature necessary for VO growth severely reshapes the metal nanoparticles, causing reduced refractive index (RI) sensitivity and degraded modulation performance. Herein, we construct a large-area dynamically tunable plasmonic system composed of a VO-covered array of hexagonal gold nanoplates (AuNPLs).

Non-local metasurface supporting geometric phases at bound states in the continuum (BIC) simultaneously enables sharp spectral resonances and spatial wavefront shaping, thus providing a diversified optical platform for multifunctional devices. However, a static nonlocal metasurface cannot manipulate multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), making it difficult to achieve multifunctional integration and be applied in different scenarios. Here, we presented and demonstrated phase-change non-local metasurfaces that can realize dynamic manipulation of multiple DOFs including resonant frequency, values, band, and spatial wavefront.

The Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase has revolutionized the design of metasurfaces, offering a straightforward and robust method for controlling wavefronts of electromagnetic waves. However, traditional metasurfaces have fixed PB phases determined by the orientation of their individual elements. In this study, an innovative structural design and integration scheme is proposed that utilizes vanadium dioxide, a phase-change material, to achieve thermally controlled dynamic PB phase control within the metasurface.

Radiative cooling in smart windows using VO - a dynamic thermal management material, is of potential interest for enhancing energy savings in buildings due to its both solar and emittance tuneability in response to changing temperatures. However, studies related to the effects of VO thin film microstructure in a multilayer system on emissivity regulation are currently lacking. The present study addresses the thermochromic and emissivity performance of VO/ZnSe/ITO/Glass Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity thin film system, by manipulating the porosity in VO thin film.
