Article Abstract

We employed the CST Microwave Studio software 2020 and the FDID algorithm for simulation. We have designed a terahertz broadband absorber based on Dirac semimetals and graphene, achieving continuous broadband absorption with a rate exceeding 80% over the range from 7.6776 to 9.172 THz. This broadband absorber features two independent tuning modes, utilizing graphene and Dirac semimetals, and exhibits strong electromagnetic adaptability. Furthermore, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the physical mechanisms underlying the high absorption in these absorbers using impedance matching theory and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) theory. Variations in the dielectric constants of different dielectric layers and the relaxation time of graphene can also modulate the absorption rate. In summary, our proposed terahertz broadband absorber, employing two distinct tunable materials, enhances the device's flexibility and environmental adaptability, offering promising prospects for wideband absorption applications.

We investigate the quasiparticles of a single nodal ring semimetal SrAs_{3} through axis-resolved magneto-optical measurements. We observe three types of Landau levels scaling as ϵ∼sqrt[B], ϵ∼B^{2/3}, and ϵ∼B that correspond to Dirac, semi-Dirac, and classical fermions, respectively. Through theoretical analysis, we identify the distinct origins of these three types of fermions present within the nodal ring.

Nanogranular films obtained by the soft assembly of atomic clusters feature functional properties that are of interest in a variety of fields, ranging from gas sensing to neuromorphic computing, heterogeneous catalysis and the biomedical sector. Bimetallic nanogranular films, combining a post-transition metal (tin) and a catalytic metal (platinum), were produced using supersonic cluster beam deposition. By operating the cluster source with a double-rod cathode or sintered cathode configuration, completely different nanostructures were obtained.

In the present study, a topological semimetal NiTe-based electrochemical biosensor was designed and fabricated, leveraging the material's inherent topological surface state and conductive bulk properties. The NiTe electrode was fabricated via mechanical exfoliation from a high-quality NiTe single crystal. Owing to its robust layered structure and unique Dirac surface states, the topological semimetal NiTe facilitates rapid electron transfer at the electrode surface, thereby enhancing the sensor's performance.

For high-performance nanoelectronic devices, choosing the appropriate and reliable electrode contact material is of vital importance. Through first-principles calculations, we have systematically investigated the geometric structural stability and electronic contact properties between monolayer 2H-phase ZrI and two-dimensional Dirac semi-metals. The results indicate that ZrI/semi-metal heterostructures are highly stable.

Weyl metals, known for their topological structure and chiral anomaly, exhibit nonlinear transport that defies conventional theory. In this study, ZrTe, an inversion-symmetric Dirac semimetal tunable to a Weyl state by magnetic field, is investigated, and rectification (alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) conversion) and third harmonic generation in longitudinal configurations is revealed. Despite its bulk inversion symmetry, symmetry-forbidden rectification and a dynamic phase transition arising from the chiral anomaly are observed.
