Abstract

This paper presents the utility of a hybrid perovskite material, methyl-ammonium lead iodide (chemical formula, CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 ) in the design of a terahertz (THz) antenna. The proposed planar inverted cone antenna (PICA) operates in the frequency range of 0.6 - 2.4 THz. Full wave electromagnetic simulations show that antennas fabricated using a combination of the perovskite material and gold improve the antenna performance, and can be used for imaging in biomedical applications.
