Abstract:
We propose a simulated terahertz design based on planar graphene ribbons. With numerical simulation, we can achieve a very obvious dual plasmon-induced transparency phenomenon through the destructive interference in this structure. Moreover, due to the simple design of this structure and the complete continuous graphene ribbons, the Fermi level of graphene can be regulated by voltage. Thus, the dual plasmon-induced transparency phenomenon can be easily tuned in the numerical simulation. Further structural analysis shows that the two graphene chips on the side of the graphene ribbons play a crucial role in the dual plasmon-induced transparency phenomenon. As the length of the two chips is close, the dual plasmon-induced transparency phenomenon gradually becomes a single plasmon-induced transparency phenomenon. The theoretical analysis of this structure shows that this system has a very high group index, and its maximum value is 800, which is far greater than that of other types of slow light devices. This work may open up a new way for designing tunable terahertz graphene-based devices and slow light devices.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
