Abstract

A terahertz (THz) metasurface absorber using double-layer graphene achieves broadband absorption with over 90% absorptance in 5.02–9.13 THz, offering a 4.11 THz bandwidth. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations reveal that the combined effects of disk- and square-shaped graphene enable modulation of absorptance at low and high frequencies by adjusting the Fermi energy ( ), achieving absorption intensity from 11% to 100%. The absorber maintains broadband performance under varying SiO2 thickness, azimuthal angles, and incident angles, ensuring robustness and tunability.
