研究目的
Investigating the characteristics of relative permittivity and reflectance for poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films and their application in fabricating a wideband terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorber (MA).
研究成果
The study successfully characterized the permittivity and reflectance properties of PMMA films and demonstrated their application in fabricating a wideband THz MA with absorption > 80% from 4.1 to 7.4 THz. The work provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the application of PMMA in THz absorbing fields.
研究不足
The study was limited by the testing equipment's inability to directly test the dielectric constant of PMMA film at frequencies > 1 MHz. The predicted dielectric constant in the THz region was based on lower frequency measurements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study involved preparing PMMA films by spin-coating method, characterizing their morphologies and microstructures, and investigating their permittivity and reflectance properties. The films were then used to fabricate a THz MA.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
PMMA films with thicknesses ranging from 9 to 17 μm were prepared. The films' properties were characterized using XRD, AFM, Raman spectroscopy, THz-TDS, and UV-VIS spectrophotometry.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
X-ray diffractometer (XRD, Bruker D8 advance, Germany),Atomic force microscope (AFM, Bruker Dimension Inc., Germany),Portable Raman spectrometer (Raman, HORIBA HR Evolution, France),Terahertz time domain spectrometer (THz-TDS, Tray-4000, Advanced Photonix Inc., China),UV-VIS spectrophotometers (Cary 500, Varian, USA),Dual beam laser interferometer (DBLI, aixACCT Systems GmbH, Germany)
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
PMMA films were prepared by spin-coating PMMA/CB solution on ITO/glass substrates. The films' thickness was modulated by changing the solution concentration. The films were then characterized for their structural, optical, and electrical properties. Finally, a THz MA was fabricated using the PMMA film as the dielectric layer.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The dielectric constant and loss were analyzed based on Maxwell polarization theory and Koop’s two-layer model. The energy gap Eg was deduced from spectral distributions of reflectance and transmittance.
