Enhanced dual-band absorption of molybdenum disulfide using a plasmonic perfect absorber
Abstract:
In order to remarkably enhance its absorption capability, a tunable dual-band MoS2-based perfect absorber inspired by metal-insulator-metal (MIM) metamaterial is proposed. By using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, dual-band perfect absorption peaks are realized in the visible light regime, and the absorptions of monolayer MoS2 are enhanced up to 57% and 80.5% at the peak wavelengths. By manipulating related structural parameters, the peak wavelengths of MoS2 absorption can be separately tuned in a wide wavelength range. Furthermore, the proposed absorber can tolerate a relatively wide range of incident angles and demonstrate polarization-dependence.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
