New Paper Published in IEEE Sensors Journal

Our collaborative work with the XJTU team titled "Electric Field Dropping Effect Enhanced Extraordinary Sensitivity of THz Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Metamaterial" is published in IEEE Sensors Journal.

This paper introduces a novel terahertz (THz) metamaterial sensor with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like characteristics. The design uses two resonators with different metal thicknesses, creating an undulated metamaterial that enhances electric field distribution in the presence of an analyte. The undulated metamaterial demonstrates a sensitivity of 550 GHz/RIU, outperforming sensors with uniform metal thickness, and experimental results validate the enhanced sensing performance, offering a promising avenue for ultra-sensitive biosensor design without altering the metamaterial pattern.
