Abstract
We have theoretically investigated the engineering of a highly efficient metamaterial (MTM) absorber with nanocircular ring resonators of nickel (Ni) metal for the absorption of visible to far-infrared (400 nm to 4000 nm). A metal–insulator-metal structure is used in the design of the proposed MTM absorber. We have observed the high absorption values with varying top resonator designs Ni-metal compared to other considered metals. The proposed absorber exhibits an average absorption of 95.34% for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes for wavelengths 400 nm to 4000 nm. The CST simulation software analyzes the absorber’s properties for different structural parameters. The average absorption is attained over 90% at different incidence angles and independent of polarization angles. Moreover, we have investigated the absorption performance using various structural characteristics. Short-circuit current densities (Jsc) are investigated using a global air mass of 1.5 (AM1.5) solar spectrum at various incidence angles. The proposed absorber containing Ni metal nanoresonators is designed as an alternative for thermal, emission, photovoltaic, and energy harvesting applications due to its attractive functionality, including geometry, cost, polarization insensitivity, large bandwidth, and thermal robustness.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
