| Popis: | Borophene has recently attracted significant attention as an emerging two-dimensional monoelemental material for refractive index sensing because of its ultra-high surface-to-volume ratio and outstanding surface sensitivity. However, current research mainly focuses on designing borophene-based sensors with single-peak absorption, which lacks reliability compared to the performance of multi-peak sensors. In this paper, high-performance borophene refractive index sensors with multiple nearly perfect absorption peaks are proposed. The geometric parameters of the metadevices are optimized using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations to obtain three strong absorption peaks in the near-infrared (near-IR) regime with intensities of 99.72%, 99.18%, and 98.13%. Further calculations show that the sensitivities of the three strong peaks reach 339.1 nm shift per refractive index units (nm/RIU), 410.1 nm/RIU, and 738.1 nm/RIU, and their corresponding figure of merits (FOMs) reach up to 15.41/RIU, 14.65/RIU and 10.85/RIU, respectively, exhibiting great potential for near-IR refractive index sensing. Moreover, the three absorption peaks can be easily tuned by adjusting the carrier density of borophene, which can be realized by applying different external electric bias voltages. These results can provide theoretical guidance for the development of multi-peak near-IR dynamic integrated photonic devices Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures |
