Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have demonstrated the possibility of manipulating THz electromagnetic waves with graphene layers. The demonstration may lead to the development of compact, efficient and less expensive devices capable of operating in the THz band.
“A major bottleneck in the promise of THz technology has been the lack of efficient materials and devices that manipulate these energy waves, Berardi Sensale-Rodriguez, a graduate student in the University of Notre Dame Department of Electrical Engineering, said. “Having a naturally two-dimensional material with [a] strong and tunable response to THz waves [like graphene] gives us the opportunity to design THz devices, achieving unprecedented performance.”
