Terahertz characterization of two-dimensional low-conductive layers enabled by metal gratings

Abstract While terahertz spectroscopy can provide valuable information regarding the charge transport properties in semiconductors, its application for the characterization of low-conductive two-dimensional layers, i.e., σs <  < 1 mS, remains elusive. This is primarily due to the low sensitivi...
