Switchable Multifunctional Meta-Surface Composed by Dielectric-Metal Hybrid Antenna Array Architecture

Strontium titanate (STO), the dielectric material, has caught the world’s attention due to its outstanding properties, such as high permittivity, high refractive index, and low loss in the terahertz band. Its permittivity is relevant to the environment temperature. Herein, a multifunctional meta-sur...
