Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Vo<sub>2</Sub>-based Dynamic Coding Metamaterials for Terahertz Wavefront Engineering(Springer, 2025) Akyurek, Bora; Noori, Aileen; Demirhan, Yasemin; Ozyuzer, Lutfi; Guven, Kaan; Altan, Hakan; Aygun, GulnurDigital coding metasurfaces (DCMS) offer a promising alternative to conventional metasurface designs for achieving common functionalities by controlling the phase of reflected or transmitted electromagnetic waves. Their simple unit cell designs allow for scalability across the THz spectrum and facilitate large-area fabrication. The true potential of DCMS lies in dynamical coding, which enables real-time reconfigurability through a tuning and/or switching mechanism. In this study, metasurfaces that achieve 1-bit dynamic coding of unit cells via thermally induced metal-insulator transition of VO2 layers are designed and fabricated. We investigate experimentally the beam splitting functionality at certain frequencies in the 0.50-0.75 THz range reflected from the stripe- and checkerboard patterned metasurface samples, and demonstrate the switching of this functionality under thermal illumination.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Terahertz Wavefront Engineering Using a Hard-Coded Metasurface(Springer, 2023) Noori, Aileen; Akyürek, Bora; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Güven, Kaan; Altan, Hakan; Aygün, GülnurDuring the past few years, coding metamaterials (MM) drew significant attention, where the far-field scattering/transmission pattern of the electromagnetic wave (particularly in the THz regime) can be encoded into a single or few-bit digitized phase-response of the metasurface, thereby enabling a full digital control. Single-bit MMs contain two types of unit cells where the phase becomes 0 and 1 (in units of ?), respectively. By arranging these unit cells into a 2D surface pattern, the THz wavefront can be shaped. In this work, a novel hard-coded metasurface was designed, fabricated, and experimentally investigated for multi-beam reflection of incident THz beam. The design employs stripe and checkerboard patterns of bilayer MM unit cells consisting of square gold patches with a polymer spacing layer from a gold backplane. Experimental and simulation results show that the incident wave in the 0.500–0.750 THz range can be reflected with > 95% efficiency in uniform amplitude and 1-bit coded phase. For the checkerboard metasurface pattern, the measured and analytically calculated reflection angle shows good agreement. The metasurface design is suitable for large-scale fabrication and can potentially be used as a template in the development of actively coded metasurfaces. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Nanolitography Based on Electrospun and Etched Nanofibers(Elsevier, 2021) Noori, Aileen; Döğer, Hilal; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özdemir, Mehtap; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Aygün, Gülnur; Sağlam, ÖzgeIn this study, we propose a new type of nanolithography procedure to fabricate orderly patterned metallic nanostructures using the electrohydrodynamic method and the reactive ion etching process. The electrohydrodynamic process parameters were tuned so as to create patterning with precision, and fibers in nanoscale on silver-coated substrates. We also studied reactive ion etching with different durations on the well-patterned samples. The experiments show that applying a voltage of 400 V resulted in straight patterned fibers with a diameter of 208.7 ? 30.3 nm. The statistical analysis on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed a significant difference in the diameter of the fibers fabricated at 400 V compared to those at 500 V and 600 V. We also confirm that the etching process has no affect on the fiber diameter. Moreover, electron dispersive X-Ray spectrometer (EDX) results suggest that an etching duration of 7 min is sufficient to remove the silver coating that is not covered with the fibers, and protect the silver nanostructures underneath the fibers. Utilizing a lowcost nanolithography procedure, we obtain the orderly patterned silver nanostructures for possible integration into miniaturized devices.
