tidy3d.Graphene#

class Graphene[source]#

Parametric surface conductivity model for graphene.

Parameters:

attrs (dict = {}) – Dictionary storing arbitrary metadata for a Tidy3D object. This dictionary can be freely used by the user for storing data without affecting the operation of Tidy3D as it is not used internally. Note that, unlike regular Tidy3D fields, attrs are mutable. For example, the following is allowed for setting an attr obj.attrs['foo'] = bar. Also note that Tidy3D` will raise a TypeError if attrs contain objects that can not be serialized. One can check if attrs are serializable by calling obj.json().
mu_c (float = 0) – [units = eV]. Chemical potential in eV.
temp (float = 300) – [units = K]. Temperature in K.
gamma (float = 0.00041) – [units = eV]. Scattering rate in eV. Must be small compared to the optical frequency.
scaling (float = 1) – Scaling factor used to model multiple layers of graphene.
include_interband (bool = True) – Include interband terms, relevant at high frequency (IR). Otherwise, the intraband terms only give a simpler Drude-type model relevant only at low frequency (THz).
interband_fit_freq_nodes (Optional[List[Tuple[float, float]]] = None) – Frequency nodes for fitting interband term. Each pair of nodes in the list corresponds to a single Pade approximant of order (1, 2), which is optimized to minimize the error at these two frequencies. The default behavior is to fit a first approximant at one very low frequency and one very high frequency, and to fit a second approximant in the vicinity of the interband feature. This default behavior works for a wide range of frequencies; consider changing the nodes to obtain a better fit for a narrow-band simulation.
interband_fit_num_iters (NonNegativeInt = 100) – Number of iterations for optimizing each Pade approximant when fitting the interband term. Making this larger might give a better fit at the cost of decreased stability in the fitting algorithm.

Note

The model contains intraband and interband terms, as described in:

George W. Hanson, "Dyadic Green's Functions for an Anisotropic,
Non-Local Model of Biased Graphene," IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag.
56, 3, 747-757 (2008).
