Abstract

Spectral characteristics of nano-engineered absorber comprised of nano-cone-shaped multi-layered (or cascaded) graphene metasurface (that results in graphite medium) were investigated under different chemical potentials and incidence conditions. The configuration of the proposed absorber is of the conductor-insulator-conductor (CIC) kind, wherein the top and bottom metasurfaces are identical in a pattern having the array of graphite-cones. Such three-layer CIC absorber hosts relatively thick dielectric substrate sandwiched between graphite nano-cone-based metasurfaces, in order to trap incidence electromagnetic fields. The results in respect of absorbance revealed usefulness of the proposed structure in spectral filtering in the visible and far-infrared regimes. Also, the tuning feature of absorber through altering the chemical potential of metasurfaces was highlighted.
