HoFeO3 rare earth ferrite exhibits distinctive crystallographic properties; however, its regulatory mechanisms and methods within the terahertz band remain complex. This study employed variable-temperature Raman spectroscopy to explore atomic interactions within the crystal structures of HoFeO3 across various modes, spanning temperatures from 20 to 300 K. The fabrication of HoFeO3 metamaterials was achieved using 3D direct ink writing additive manufacturing technology, accompanied by the design of a three-coordinate spatial intelligent control structure to manipulate terahertz electromagnetic waves. Variable-temperature Raman spectroscopy revealed twelve active peaks, which included the stretching vibrations of Ho and O, the torsion of FeO6, and the stretching vibrations of Fe-O. Notably, these phonons exhibited softening phenomena with increasing temperature. A low transmittance (transmittance <0.1) of terahertz waves at 0.82 THz was attained through the use of 3D-printed double-layer 90° metamaterials. Furthermore, when the double-layer 45° metamaterials were rotated in the E-H plane around the propagation direction as the central axis, the terahertz waves demonstrated a rotational symmetry transmission law at 0.5 THz. This research offers effective materials and construction methods for metamaterials aimed at regulating terahertz electromagnetic waves.
