摘　　要：设计了一种基于三维狄拉克半金属(DSM)动态可调谐的四频段太赫兹超材料窄带完美吸波器,在3.4695、4.3829、4.5790、4.9885 THz频率处实现4个吸收率接近100%的谐振峰。对谐振频率处的电磁场分布进行了数值研究,并结合阻抗匹配原理,定性地解释了吸收体完美吸收的物理机制。研究了单元结构尺寸和DSM费米能级对吸波特性的影响规律,证明了谐振峰频率和吸收率均具有良好的可调性。进一步地,当吸波器的工作环境折射率由1.00增加至1.16时,谐振频率红移且折射率响应灵敏度高达721.8 GHz·RIU^(-1)。在法向入射下,表现出与极化无关的吸收特性。本研究为THz吸波器及相关DSM器件研制提供参考,同时在多波段光电探测、生物传感和光学滤波等领域中具有很大的应用潜力。Objective Terahertz(THz)absorbers are essential devices for suppressing electromagnetic interference or pollution in related THz system and play an increasingly important role in THz applications such as wireless communications,imaging,and sensing.Metamaterials,composed of artificially designed periodic subwavelength structure arrays,have the desired electromagnetic response beyond traditional materials.Since Landy et al.proposed the classical metamaterialinsulator-metal(MIM)absorber configuration,various THz absorbers integrating metamaterial and functional materials have been developed in both fundamental and applied research.Among them,graphene-based hybrid metamaterial THz absorbers have attracted wide attention due to their tunable transmission and flexible design.However,the natural optical properties of the ultrathin 2D graphene,like low absorption of incident waves and weak electromagnetic response,limit its applications in high-performance THz absorbers.The emerging 3D Dirac semimetal(DSM)exhibits high carrier mobility and tunable Fermi level comparable to graphene and overcomes the above-mentioned inherent disadvantages of graphene.In this study,a tunable four-band THz metamaterial absorber based on Dirac semimetal is designed.Using the finite integration method,the absorption characteristics in THz regime are systematically simulated in response to the structural parameters and Fermi levels of DSM.Methods We introduce a dynamically tunable four-band THz metamaterial perfect absorber based on a three-dimensional DSM.The designed MIM structure consists of DSM metamaterial layer,a dielectric layer,and a metal substrate layer from top to bottom(Fig.1).First,we calculate the Fermi level-dependent complex permittivity of 3D DSM in the frequency range of 3.0 THz to 5.2 THz based on the Kubo formula and the two-band model(Fig.2).Then,we perform finite-integration-method-based simulations to reveal electromagnetic field distribution and absorption spectra,and we simulate the absorption spectra of the two substr
