Exploitation of Piezoelectric Micro-Devices as Building Blocks of Controllable Terahertz Complex Materials

Abstract:

A reconfigurable THz complex medium, consisting of fundamental piezoelectric micro-devices, is introduced in this paper. By actuating the piezoelectric modules, a controllable metamaterial, presenting enhanced bandwidth tunability, is accomplished. Two diverse polarization topologies are examined, revealing the anisotropic performance of this material. The advantages of the proposed component are sufficiently clarified through several numerical data, derived by a robust finite element method (FEM).
