Abstract

We demonstrate a plasmonic analog of electromagnetically induced transparency in a simple planar metamaterial structure, which consists of two bright three-dimensional (3-D) Dirac semimetal films (DSFs). Through the coupling in the asymmetric elements, a pronounced transparency peak within a broad transmission resonance spectrum is activated. In addition, the transmission spectrum can be tuned by varying the Fermi energy of 3-D Dirac semimetal. Moreover, higher group delays of more than 6 ps are obtained under different energies, and we can achieve the capability of controlling the group delay by changing Fermi energy because of the spectral tunability. The proposed DSF-based plasmonically induced transparency system may pave the way for potential applications in tunable terahertz switching, sensors, and slow-light devices.
