| Popis: | All-dielectric metamaterials composed of high index and low loss dielectric resonators have become a promising way for high-efficient optical devices. However, fabricating terahertz all-dielectric metamaterials and actively tuning their properties still remain challenges. In this paper, an effective method has been developed to prepare high-quality microspheres based all-dielectric metamaterial operating in terahertz (THz) range. Then, we propose a magnetically tunable THz all-dielectric metamaterial based on liquid crystal (LC). The all-dielectric metamaterial is immersed into LC and tuned by external magnetic field. We show that the induced Mie resonances can be effectively tuned by external magnetic field and the tunability is highly sensitive to the directors of applied magnetic field. A good tunability performance is obtained for the first electric resonance. This work provides a new method for high-quality THz all-dielectric metamaterials and paves a promising way for tunable THz all-dielectric metamaterial, which would find considerable applications in THz devices.
