A graphene metamaterials based on plasmon-induced transparent has been proposed, which is composed of graphene split rings and graphene nanostrip. Split ring and nanostrip can generate resonance points at different frequencies under the excitation of terahertz waves. When these two structures are combined, two transparent windows are generated due to the destructive interference. Via tuning the Fermi energy of graphene of MaSRR, the amplitude of the first transmission peak increased from 0.64 to 0.86, and the amplitude of the second transmission peak decreased from 0.97 to 0.85. Via tuning the Fermi energy of graphene of MiSRR, the amplitude of the first transmission peak remains unchanged, and the amplitude of the second transmission peak ranges from 0 to 0.85. This study provides a good theoretical basis for the diversity of terahertz wave modulation. more...

The lack of terahertz sources, especially the high-power ones, is one of the main obstacles in the developments of terahertz science and technology. A gyrotron, based on the electron cyclotron masers, is one of the most promising sources to generate high-power terahertz radiation. Therefore, a 0.42-THz gyrotron with a gradually tapered complex cavity operating at the second harmonic is designed and experimentally tested in this paper. Experimental results show that the designed gyrotron can generate high-power THz radiation of 19.2 kW at 0.42 THz with the beam voltage ${V}_{\textsf {0}}$ of 51 kV, beam current ${I}_{\textsf {0}}$ of 4.4 A and the external magnetic field ${B}_{\textsf {0}}$ of 8.03 T, corresponding to an efficiency of 8.6%. By comparison with theoretical results, it can be shown that the operating mode in the designed gyrotron is confirmed as the TE17.4 mode. At the same time, the excitation of the fundamental TE0.5 mode is also observed in the experiment when the beam current is increased to 7.3 A, where the operating frequency is 216.143 GHz. Through extensive experimental efforts, it is found that the designed gyrotron can operate stably at the desired TE17.4 mode when the beam current is in the range of 3–7 A. more...

Titanium nickel nitride (TiNiN) decorated three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanotubes-reduced graphene oxide (CNT-rGO), a fancy 3D platinum (Pt)-based catalyst hybrid support, is prepared by a solvothermal process followed by a nitriding process, which is tested as anodic catalyst support for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The structure, morphology and composition of the synthesized TiNiN/CNT-rGO exhibits a uniform particle dispersion with high purity and interpenetrating 3D network structure. Notably, Pt/TiNiN/CNT-rGO catalyst exhibits significantly improved catalytic activity and durability for methanol oxidation in comparison with Pt/CNT-rGO and conventional Pt/C (JM). The outstanding electrochemical performance was attributed to structure and properties. That is, the 3D CNT-rGO provided a fast transport network for charge-transfer and mass-transfer as well as TiNiN NPs with good synergistic effect and the strong electronic coupling between different domains in TiNiN/CNT-rGO, thus the catalytic activity of the novel catalyst is greatly improved. These results evidences 3D TiNiN/CNT-rGO as a promising catalyst support for a wide range of applications in fuel cells. more...

Terahertz (THz) and sub-THz science and technology are very hot today. However, it is difficult to obtain high-power source of THz wave. Gyrotrons are well known as one of the most promising source for powerful THz radiation. In this paper, a 0.42-THz second harmonic gyrotron with complex cavity operating at TE17.4 is numerically simulated and designed by adopting self-consistent nonlinear theory with the first-order transmission line equations. Meanwhile, the mode competitions in the designed gyrotron have been investigated carefully by using time-dependent multimode nonlinear theory. It is proved that the operating mode can be first excited and other competing modes are well suppressed in the complex cavity. Based on these numerical simulations, the designed complex cavity gyrotron has been manufactured and measured in the Terahertz Science and Technology Research Center at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. The measured results show that the designed gyrotron can stably operate at TE17.4 with pulsed output power of 19.3 kW when the beam current ${I}_{{0}}$ is 4.4 A, beam voltage ${U}_{{0}}$ is 51 kV, and magnetic field ${B}_{{0}}$ is 8.03 T. The corresponding frequency and interaction efficiency are 421.645 GHz and 8.6%, respectively. more...

Stable operation in a single mode is an important goal of high-power gyrotron. Both multimoding and switching into unwanted modes can lead to lower efficiency. Based on the multimode, multifrequency, and time-dependent fixed field theory, a numerical code has been written for simulating the mode competition in the complex cavity gyrotron operating at the second harmonic, which is confirmed to be correct by comparison with the self-consistent simulation. With the help of the code, the mode competition in the designed complex gyrotron with the frequency of 0.42 THz is simulated by tracking several competition modes without considering ohmic losses, whose influence is roughly estimated. Through mode competition simulations, it is verified that the complex gyrotron with gradually tapered cavity has a good capability to suppress the mode competition, especially the competition from the fundamental modes. Meanwhile, the simulations show that the single mode oscillation of the desired mode TE17.4 at 150-kW level can be expected when the optimal operating condition is that the beam voltage is 50 kV, the beam current is 6 A, and the applied magnetic field is 7.98 T. more...

High-power terahertz gyrotrons always operate at high-order modes to avoid damage from Ohmic heating. However, the spectral densities of these modes are very high, especially when gyrotrons operate at high-order harmonics. Therefore, the self-excitation condition can be satisfied for several modes simultaneously. Correspondingly, in order to determine which mode will be excited first in the designed terahertz gyrotron, the starting currents of competing modes should be calculated more accurately to predict the operating status. In this paper, an existing linear theory is generalized to take into account the influences of the field profile, finite beam thickness, and velocity spread. Starting currents are calculated for the operating and the most dangerous competing mode in a 0.42-THz second harmonic gyrotron with a complex cavity, which is recently under development at the Terahertz Science and Technology Research Center. The calculations show that the radial and velocity spreads play a critical role in the starting current and prove that the measured output terahertz radiation in the designed device is generated from the interaction between the desired mode and the electron beam. more...

Gyrotron oscillators are one of promising sources to generate high power terahertz radiation. To achieve high power at high frequency, gyrotrons have to operate at high order modes to alleviate the problem of wall heating and the miniaturization of interaction structures at these frequencies. Due to high order modes, the mode spectrum is very dense and the electron beam is likely to interact with several modes. Mode competition is a major hurdle in achieving stable and efficient operation of a gyrotron at cyclotron harmonics. The gradually tapered complex cavity could suppress mode competition by locking a pair of operating modes in two single cavities. Starting from the general transmission line equations with an electron beam, self-consistent nonlinear simulations on the second harmonic complex cavity gyrotron operating at 0.42 THz are presented. The influences of the electron beam parameters on the interaction efficiency are analyzed. The experimental results show that the designed complex cavity gyrotron is operationally stable at TE 17.4 with pulse output power of 22.25 kW when the beam current is 4.8 A, beam voltage is 45 kV, and applied magnetic field is 8.185 T. The corresponding frequency and interaction efficiency are 421.60 GHz and 10.27%, respectively. more...

The problem of mode competition can present a major hurdle for gyrotron to achieve stable and efficient operation, especially when the gyrotron operates at electron cyclotron harmonics. Therefore, an effective theoretical investigation of the mode competition is an essential first step to the implementation of gyrotron. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of the mode competition in the terahertz gyrotron operating at high-order mode are studied using a multifrequency time-dependent model. Based on the model, the simulations of mode competition in the designed gyrotron are presented by the corresponding code. The influence of the velocity spread on the mode competition is also studied. The simulations tracking five competing modes show that stable excitation of the second harmonic oscillation can be realized with a proper choice of the operation parameters. The results show that a single-mode second harmonic radiation with a power of over 120 kW at a frequency of 0.4 THz could be achieved. more...

In this paper, the results of theoretical study on a 0.4-THz second harmonic gyrotron operating at TE19.3 are presented. A gradually tapered cavity is adopted to alleviate the problem of parasitic mode competition. It is proved that the amplitudes of spurious modes in the gradually tapered cavity could be kept lower than that in the line-joint cavity, especially that in the line-joint cavity with large angle. Based on the self-consistent nonlinear theory, a code is written to simulate the process of beam–wave interaction. Through optimizing the operating parameters, the beam–wave interaction efficiency can reach 35% and an output power of 100 kW can be obtained. In addition, the mode competition in the designed gyrotron is studied using multifrequency time-dependent nonlinear theory. Simulations tracking five competition modes show that stable excitation of the desired operating mode TE19.3 at 100 kW level can be realized with proper choice of operating parameters. more...

Confocal gyrotron traveling-wave tube (gyro-TWT) is a novel gyrotron amplifier capable of operating in higher order modes while generating high power at the same time. So far, confocal gyro-TWT has been studied by MIT both in theory and experiment at 140 GHz. In this paper, a center frequency of 170-GHz $\mathrm{TE}_{06}$ -mode confocal gyro-TWT is designed theoretically, and it features high power and broadband capabilities. Theoretical investigation predicts that, when the magnetic injection gun is optimized to generate an electron beam of 65 kV, current of 7 A, with a pitch factor of 1.2, this gyro-TWT is of an excellent performance.

A Denisov launcher operating at 420 GHz with TE17,4 mode is designed and optimized through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. The launcher consists of a mode converted waveguide and a helical cut. Instead of using the conventional perturbations, a sinusoid type perturbation is used in this converted waveguide. Operations of the launcher are analyzed by the coupled mode theory. The field at the output aperture of the launcher has a nice Gaussian profile distribution. The conversion efficiency is more than 98.1 %. The parasitic modes in the launcher and the aperture field profile were analyzed. The wall field of the launcher is analyzed in case that the input wave is rotating left-hand. A full 3D electromagnetic field analysis of the integrated launcher has been done.

Recently, a 0.42 THz second-harmonic gyrotron with complex cavity has been investigated and measured in the Terahertz Research Center. The experimental results show that the designed gyrotron can operate stably at the candidate mode TE−17.4 with the pulsed power of 19.3 kW, corresponding to an efficiency of 8.6%. However, the measured output power and efficiency are much lower than the theoretical values. In this paper, the influences of beam quality and Ohmic loss on the beam-wave interaction in the designed complex-cavity gyrotron are analyzed explicitly by a nonlinear, time-dependent, multi-mode code. The numerical simulations show that in the low-beam-voltage region, the calculated powers perfectly fit with the experimental results when the electron beam width is 0.195 mm, the electron velocity spread is 6% and the Ohmic quality factor of TE−17.4 is about 75000. Meanwhile it is also found that competing modes are well suppressed although considering the beam quality and Ohmic loss, which reproduces the experimental observation of the high-power single-mode oscillation of the TE−17.4 mode as the design mode. more...

A device-specified in-house code for gyrotron simulation is reported. By assuming that the gyrotron being in the steady oscillation state, the beam-wave interaction in the gyrotron cavity can be approximated by the telegraphist's equations together with the Lorentz force equations. Then, by incorporating cut-off and open boundary conditions at the input and output ends of the cavity separately, the above differential equations can be solved numerically. This algorithm is more computational efficient than the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) approach in theory. The self-developed code is then verified by the agreement with 3D PIC code. more...

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of mode competition in the complex cavity gyrotron are studied by using multi-frequency, time-dependent theory with the cold-cavity longitudinal profile approximation. Based on the theory, a code is written to simulate the mode competition in the gradually tapered complex cavity gyrotron operating at second harmonic oscillation. The simulations tracking seven competition modes show that single mode oscillation of the desired mode TE17.4 at 150 kW level can be expected with proper choice of operating parameters. Through studying on mode competition, it is proved that the complex cavity has a good capability for suppressing the mode competition. Meanwhile, it is found that TE17.3 could be excited in the first cavity as a competition mode when the gyrotron operating at large beam current, which leads to that TE17.3 and TE17.4 with different frequencies can coexist stably in the complex cavity gyrotron with very close amplitudes. Thus, the complex cavity might be used for... more...
