We present a dynamic metamaterial based on Dirac semimetals and capable of realizing broadband and tunable asymmetric transmission in the terahertz region. The Dirac semimetal resonators have a chiral structure patterned with double-T resonators that results in partial polarization conversion of waves incident upon the material, leading to asymmetric transmission across a wide frequency range. We show how the gradual shift of the semimetal Fermi energy permits a method of control over the asymmetric total transmission.
