Abstract
The metamaterial analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in terahertz (THz) regime holds fascinating prospects for filling the THz gap in various functional devices. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid metamaterial to actively manipulate the resonance strength of EIT effect. By integrating a monolayer graphene into a THz metal metamaterial, an on-to-off modulation of the EIT transparency window is achieved under different Fermi levels of graphene. According to the classical two-particle model and the distributions of the electric field and surface charge density, the physical mechanism is attributable to the recombination effect of conductive graphene. This work reveals a novel manipulation mechanism of EIT resonance in the hybrid metamaterial and offers a new perspective towards designing THz functional devices.
