Abstract
We analyse the scattering and absorption of a terahertz-range plane wave by a thin circular dielectric disk with two graphene covers. Assuming that the thickness of the whole composite disk is much smaller than the free-space wavelength, we reduce the complexity of the problem with the aid of the generalized boundary conditions. This yields a set of singular integral equations for the effective electric and magnetic currents, induced on an equivalent zero-thickness disk. The adopted advanced numerical solution technique is a version of the method of analytical preconditioning, which uses weighted polynomials as expansion functions in the discretization of the integral equations. Then, the resulting matrix equation has Fredholm second-kind property that enables us to control the computational error by the matrix size and reduce it to the desired level. This accurate analysis reveals resonances on several types of natural modes, best understood via visualization of in-resonance near-fields. They are the plasmon-mode resonances of the graphene disk, perturbed by the presence of the dielectric filler, and the dielectric disk modes, perturbed by the graphene covers. Additionally, quasi-full disk transparency is observed if the transverse resonance condition is fulfilled. Special attention is paid to the tunability of the found effects with the aid of graphene's chemical potential.
