Abstract
Multifunctional, high-efficiency, and active manipulation devices are significant for terahertz (THz) technology and application. In this Letter, a stacked-graphene meta-atom (SGM) structure is investigated, which is composed of periodically patterned graphene in the 2D plane and stacked graphene-dielectric layers perpendicularly to the plane. This structure not only has strong THz artificial anisotropy but also enhances the cyclotron resonance response of graphene to a THz wave under an external magnetic field (EMF). Based on these two characteristics, the SGM can realize dynamic conversion between two functions for the manipulation of THz spin chiral states under different EMFs: from the reciprocal spin-flip without EMF to nonreciprocal spin-selection with EMF. Furthermore, a Pancharatnam-Berry (P-B) metasurface composed of the SGMs with different discrete orientation angles has been designed, which achieves active conversion between THz spin chiral beam deflection and the nonreciprocal one-way transmission for two conjugated spin beams, dynamically manipulated by both the biased voltage and EMF. The spin-select isolation is 42.3 dB with a transmission efficiency of over 70% at 1.38 THz. This manipulation mechanism of the spin beam and related devices has great potential in future THz communication, dynamical imaging, and radar scanning systems.
