We propose and demonstrate a structure consisting of graphene rings and square rings that enables broadband and tunable plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) effects. Through coupled Lorentz model analysis, we attribute the transmission window at 2.1 THz to the interference between the equipartitioned exciton resonance of the graphene ring pairs and the inductive-capacitive resonance of the graphene square ring pairs. We also investigate the effect of the variation of the rotation angle of the internal graphene square ring pair on the transmission characteristics. The structure not only achieves a maximum modulation depth (MDA) of 91%, insertion loss (IL) and extinction ratio (ER) of 0.3 dB and 10.94 dB, respectively, but also achieves a maximum detection sensitivity of 0.96 THz/refractive index unit (RIU). In contrast, this study achieves more than 90% modulation amplitude in the range of 0.3 THz with a simple design structure, providing new insights for research and applications in related fields.

As one of the core parts of the Internet-of-things (IOTs), multimodal sensors have exhibited great advantages in fields such as human-machine interaction, electronic skin, and environmental monitoring. However, current multimodal sensors substantially introduce a bloated equipment architecture and a complicated decoupling mechanism. In this work we propose a multimodal fusion sensing platform based on a power-dependent piecewise linear decoupling mechanism, allowing four parameters to be perceived and decoded from the passive wireless single component, which greatly broadens the configurable freedom of a sensor in the IOT.

The world of nanoscales in fluidics is the frontier where the continuum of fluid mechanics meets the atomic, and even quantum, nature of matter. While water dynamics remains largely classical under extreme confinement, several experiments have recently reported coupling between water transport and the electronic degrees of freedom of the confining materials. This avenue prompts us to reconsider nanoscale hydrodynamic flows under the perspective of interacting excitations, akin to condensed matter frameworks.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have experienced rapid development in recent years and have been widely applied in various fields. Angular-interrogation SPR biosensors play an important role in the field of biological detection due to their advantages of reliable results and high stability. However, angular-interrogation SPR biosensors also suffer from low detection sensitivity, poor real-time performance, and limited dynamic detection range, which seriously restricts their application and promotion.
