Enhanced tunable terahertz Mie resonance and magnetoplasmonic effect through chain formation in ferrofluid

Abstract

We present experimental and theoretical evidence demonstrating the Mie resonance effect in the terahertz (THz) range, utilizing Fe3O4/Kerosene ferrofluid. Our findings indicate a significant and rapid change in the complex refractive indices at 0.5 THz with an increase in the magnetic field strength. Moreover, we observed a prominent absorption peak at 0.5 THz in transmittance and absorption coefficient measurements, corresponding to a magnetic field intensity of 178.0 mT. This phenomenon occurs due to the adjustment of particle spacing, leading to resonance under different magnetic field conditions. These research results hold immense potential in advancing the development of magneto-optical THz modulators for imaging and communication applications.
