Electrically tunable THz graphene metasurface wave retarders by Park Hyunwoo, Jeong Sodam, Seo Changwon, Park Hyeongi, Oh Donghak, Shim Jae-Eon, Lee Jaeyeong, Ha Taewoo, Kim Hyeon-Don, Baek Soojeong, Min Bumki, Kim Teun-Teun

“…Specifically, we show that a refractive index for one of the orthogonal polarization states can be electrically controlled by modulating graphene’s conductivity, thereby weakening the capacitive coupling between adjacent meta-atoms in an anisotropic manner. With monolayer graphene, phase retardation of 15° to 81° between two orthogonal polarization states can be achieved. …”

Analysis of Breaking Characteristics of C₄F₇N/CO₂ Mixture Gas in Circuit Breaker by Xiaolong Li, Lei Liu, Wen Wang, Zhenxin Geng

“…Furthermore, increasing the inflating pressure can effectively enhance the breaking performance of the circuit breaker with 0.6 MPa, making it more suitable. Additionally, increasing the proportion of C₄F₇N in the mixed gases will cause the arc temperature to rise slightly at the initial arc and current crossing zero, but decrease at the peak current. …”
