TL;DR
This paper explores how graphene layers affect the behavior of light in special chiral nihility fibers, enabling tunable properties for advanced optical devices.
Contribution
The study introduces a novel graphene-coated chiral nihility fiber structure and analyzes its tunable guided mode characteristics.

Graphene-coated chiral nihility fibers exhibit anomalous dispersion and higher wave propagation.
The structure is promising for terahertz communication and sensing systems.
Abstract
In this paper, guided modes in isotropic chiral nihility metamaterial fibers coated with graphene layers supported by conventional dielectric material are studied theoretically. Kubo formalism is applied to model the conductivity of single-layer graphene, and suitable boundary conditions are applied at the proposed waveguide structure. The dispersion equation for the chiral nihility fiber and the normalized cut-off frequency are derived. Characteristic curves for forward and backward modes, the effect of the graphene layer, the influence of the chirality parameter, and the energy flow distribution of several lower-order guided modes m=0,1,−1 in chiral nihility fibers are investigated briefly. It is found that the band gap between the curves of forward and backward modes may be tuned by radial distance, chiral strength, and chemical potential. By the addition of a graphene medium with…
