Parametric study on shielding effectiveness of graphene based bilayer structure

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to increase shielding effectiveness of electromagnetic shields by coating with graphene sheet. Firstly, graphene monolayer is modeled numerically and it is observed that it is in good agreement with the analytical findings. Then, the reflection loss of bilayer screen that is formed by coating the back surface of an aluminum plate with graphene sheet, is analyzed analytically and numerically. Finally, a shielding enclosure in which inner surfaces are coated with graphene sheet is modeled and the change of shielding effectiveness of the shielding enclosure with respect to the chemical potential and temperature values of graphene sheet is investigated. It is obtained that shielding effectiveness of shielding enclosure decays depending on the increase of chemical potential of graphene sheet while the temperature parameter remains fixed. Shielding effectiveness values are obtained close to each other at the temperature 300 K and above depending on the increase of temperature of graphene sheet while the chemical potential remains fixed.
