A thermal tunability metamaterial absorber with single-band absorption properties is proposed and numerical verification. An absorption peak can be revealed at resonant wavelength 1.54 m at room temperature. The metal parameter condition is optimized in simulation in order to improve the property of this absorber. Simulated results reveal that absorption performances can be modulated based on the refractive index changes. High FOM values are obtained based on water or glucose solution. Moreover, the resonance wavelength and amplitude are modulated based on the ambient temperature changes. Finally, the effect of central metal particle side width or dielectric layer thickness at room temperature on absorption performances are also revealed in simulation.

Abstract We proposed a dual-band polarization-insensitive metamaterial absorber consisting of merely the metal square patch and a continuous metal ground separated by a middle dielectric layer. Two resonance peaks derived from `the fundamental resonance (with 97% absorbance) and the surface lattice resonance (with 99% absorbance) are realized. It is different from previous work the dual-band response is obtained by combining two resonances of different sizes. Moreover, a first-order diffraction mode of grating predicted the resonance wavelength of the proposed absorber. The surface electromagnetic field distributions of the unit-cell structure reveal the physical origin of the dual-band absorption. Importantly, the first absorption peak result from surface lattice resonance with narrow line-width has large sensitivity perform and high quality factor, which has significant potential in the application of biosensors and monitoring.

Abstract By placing a single Au nanoparticle on the surface of a cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanowire, we demonstrate strong coupling of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) modes in the nanoparticle and whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in the nanowire. For a 50-nm-diameter Au-nanosphere particle, strong coupling occurs when the nanowire diameter is between 300 and 600 nm, with a mode splitting up to 80 meV. Using a temperature-induced spectral shift of the resonance wavelength, we also observe the anticrossing behavior in the strongly coupled system. In addition, since the Au nanosphere has spherical symmetry, the supported LSPR mode can be selectively coupled with transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) WGMs in the nanowire. The ultracompact strong-coupling system shown here may provide a versatile platform for studying hybrid “photon–plasmon” nanolasers, nonlinear optical devices, and nanosensors.

This paper reports an independently tunable graphene-based metamaterial absorber (GMA) designed by etching two cascaded resonators with dissimilar sizes in the unit cell. Two perfect absorption peaks were obtained at 6.94 and 10.68 μm with simple single-layer metal-graphene metamaterials; the peaks show absorption values higher than 99%. The mechanism of absorption was analyzed theoretically. The independent tunability of the metamaterial absorber (MA) was realized by varying the Fermi level of graphene under a set of resonators. Furthermore, multi-band and wide-band absorption were observed by the proposed structure upon increasing the number of resonators and resizing them in the unit cell. The obtained results demonstrate the multipurpose performance of this type of absorber and indicate its potential application in diverse applications, such as solar energy harvesting and thermal absorbing.

In this paper, a plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) based on a silicon nanorod resonator (SNRR) for visible light is proposed and investigated numerically. The proposed PPA is only a two-layer nanostructure consisting of a SNRR periodic array and metal substrate. The perfect absorption mainly originates from excitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) mode in the SNRR structure. The absorption properties of this design can be adjusted by varying the radius (r) and height (h) of the SNRR structure. What is more, the stronger quad-band absorption can be achieved by combing four different radius of the SNRR in one period as a super unit-cell. Numerical simulation indicates that the designed quad-band PPA can achieve the absorbance of 99.99%, 99.8%, 99.8%, and 92.2% at 433.5 THz, 456 THz, 482 THz, and 504.5 THz, respectively. Further simulations show that the proposed PPA is polarization-insensitive for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. The proposed PPA can be a desirable candidate for some potential applications in detecting, sensing, and visible spectroscopy.

A subwavelength metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) in optical communication band was proposed and tested using the finite-difference time-domain method. The absorber is periodic and comprises a top layer of diamond silicon surrounded by L-shaped silicon and a gold layer on the substrate. It can achieve dual-band perfect absorption, and one of the peaks is in the optical communication band. By changing the gap (g) between two adjacent pieces of L-shaped silicon, and the thickness (h) of the silicon layer, the resonance wavelength of absorption peak can be tuned. When the incident electromagnetic wave entered the absorber, the metamaterial absorber could almost completely consume the incident electromagnetic waves, thereby achieving more than 99% perfect absorption. The absorption peak reaches 99.986% at 1310 nm and 99.421% at 1550 nm. Moreover, the MPA exposed to different ambient refraction indexes can be applied as plasma sensors, and can achieve multi-channel absorption with high figure of merit (FOM*) value and refractive index (RI) sensitivity. The FOM* values at 1310 nm and 1550 nm are 6615 and 168, respectively, and both resonance peaks have highly RI sensitivity. The results confirm that the MPA is a dual-band, polarization-independent, wide-angle absorber and insensitive to incident angle. Thence it can be applied in the fields of optical communication, used as a light-wave filter and plasma sensor, and so on.

Abstract Considering that the electric refrigeration temperature range of 0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramic materials is 100 ~ 140℃, the electric refrigeration performance of the 0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramic material system was modified by LiNbO3 doping to reduce the cooling temperature. As a result, the refrigeration temperature range of the 0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramic material system was lowered to 25 ~ 80℃, achieving its cooling effect near room temperature, and in this temperature range, the adiabatic temperature changes ∆T > 0.6K.

Two-dimensional phenomena are attracting enormous interest at present and the search for novel 2D materials is very challenging. We propose here the layered material valleriite composed of altering atomic sheets of Cu-Fe sulfide and Mg-based hydroxide synthesized via a simple hydrothermal pathway as particles of 50-200 nm in the lateral size and 10-20 nm thick. The solid products and aqueous colloids prepared with various precursor ratios were examined using XRD, TEM, EDS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS), Raman, Mössbauer, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopies, magnetic, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements. The material properties are largely determined by the narrow-gap (less than 0.5 eV) sulfide layers containing Cu+ and Fe3+ cations, monosulfide and minor polysulfide anions but are strongly affected by the hydroxide counterparts. Particularly, Fe distribution between sulfide (55-90%) and magnesium hydroxide layers is controlled through insertion of Al into the hydroxide part and by Cr and Co dopants entering both layers. Room-temperature Mössbauer signals of paramagnetic Fe3+ transformed to several Zeeman sextets with hyperfine magnetic fields up to 500 kOe in the sulfide layers at 4 K. Paramagnetic or more complicated characters were observed for valleriites with higher and lower Fe concentrations in hydroxide sheets, respectively. Valleriite colloids showed negative zeta potentials, suggesting negative electric charging of the hydroxide sheets, and optical absorption maxima between 500 nm and 700 nm, also depended on the Fe distribution. The last features observed also in the REELS spectra may be due to localized surface plasmon or, more likely, quasi-static dielectric resonance. The tunable composition, electronic, magnetic, optic and surface properties highlight valleriites as a rich platform for novel 2D composites promising for numerous applications.
