Abstract
We propose a dual-band metamaterial absorber with large frequency ratio, comprising periodic laminated metal–dielectric pyramids cascaded with a Helmholtz resonator array. Specifically, the metal–dielectric pyramids achieve over 90% broadband absorption from 16.6 to 19 GHz while remaining transparent at lower frequencies to the Helmholtz resonator array. Conversely, the Helmholtz resonator array exhibits 99.9% absorption at 2.88 GHz, simultaneously serving as a natural ground for the pyramids. By cascading these two structures, our design achieves independent dual-band absorption with a center-frequency ratio exceeding 6 and no spurious absorption peaks between the bands, paving the way for the development of more advanced multifunctional energy-harvesting devices.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
