Different regimes of electromagnetic signal transmission through heterostructures formed by a sequence of conducting and non-conducting layers are discussed for various ratios between the frequency of radiation and the transport frequency of electron scattering in the conducting layers. Possibility to increase the efficiency of detecting or filtering electromagnetic radiation in a wide range of frequency range (from subTHz to far IR) in such structures is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
