摘要
We characterize the behavior of split ring resonators made up of high transition temperature yttrium barium copper oxide superconductor using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy measurements and numerical simulations. The superconductor metamaterial is found to show a remarkable change in the transmission spectra at the fundamental inductive-capacitive resonance as the temperature dips below the critical transition temperature. This resonance switching effect is normally absent in traditional metamaterials made up of regular metals. The temperature-dependent resonance behavior of the superconducting metamaterial would lead to development of low loss terahertz switches at cryogenic temperatures.
