研究目的
To design an electrically programmable nonvolatile metasurface based on ITO/Ge2Sb2Te5-ITO/Au crossbar structure that can dynamically change its optical function by modulating the crystallization level of Ge2Sb2Te5 at each pixel position individually by controlled electrical pulses.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that an electrically programmable, multi-purpose metasurface based on ITO/GST–ITO/Au crossbar structure can modulate the phase of reflected light from 0 to 2π by changing crystallization level of GST. The proposed metasurface can perform multiple functions including beam steering, flat lenses, vortex generators, and optical holograms, showing potential for applications in information technology, biomedical sciences, integrated optics, and more.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations and does not include experimental validation. Potential drawbacks such as snake path current in the simple crossbar structure are mentioned but not experimentally addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations for optimizing the crossbar device structure and ensuring phase modulation from 0 to 2π by changing the crystallization level of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). Auxiliary differential equation (ADE) method was used for handling optical dispersion of GST.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses a ITO/GST–ITO/Au crossbar structure with specific geometric parameters for simulations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The materials include ITO, GST, Au, and SiO2 substrate. The equipment involves simulation tools for FDTD calculations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves simulating the crossbar structure under vertical illumination of planewave with polarization parallel to lower ITO/Au bars from upper boundary, calculating intensity and phase spectra of reflected light for various structural parameters and crystallization levels of GST.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes calculating reflection spectra, phase of reflected light, and electric field profiles to demonstrate various optical functions.
