Abstract :
An efficient finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is proposed for studying frequency- and temperature-dependent characteristics of some graphene-based structures, with auxiliary differential equation-FDTD method and its conformal modification technique integrated together for handling such atomically thin and electrically dispersive periodic geometries. Numerical results are presented to show their tunable transmittances, surface plasmon polarization-mode characteristics and Fano resonances, where the effects of chemical potential of graphene, biasing electric field strength, as well as operating temperature are captured and investigated in detail.
