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.

Abstract Developing a highly efficient and multiple-bands metamaterial absorber is a hot issue in recent era. In this paper, A multiple-bands metamaterial absorber has been presented which is based in X, Ku and K-band. Firstly, we have designed two single layer basic unit cell of X-shape and cross-shape, then they are arranged in the multi-layers structure form for the purpose of obtaining multiple- bands and wide band absorption. The proposed absorber is able to work in multiple bands because it has six peaks in the frequency range of 8–24 GHz with having near perfect absorption. Moreover, the sixth peak has a wideband absorption which is 2.93 GHz. Furthermore, the proposed absorber is also tested for polarization insensitivity and also for oblique incidence. Absorption was found polarization insensitive with almost perfect absorption.

A unit cell of squared shaped polarization-insensitive switchable metamaterial absorber/reflector is presented. The structure operates at 10.20 GHz under both absorber mode and reflector mode configurations. Copper wire bridging the gaps to form a circular shape structure were used as switches for operation mode selections. The structure was designed on an FR4 substrate, and the incidental wave angles were varied from 0 to 50 degrees. The structure demonstrated almost 100% absorption at resonance, 3.314 GHz percentage bandwidth at 80% as an absorber. On the other hand, as reflector, it demonstrated almost a 90% reflection and a usable bandwidth of 3.327 GHz.

This paper presents an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber for solar harvesting in the infrared regime (220–360 THz) of the solar spectrum. The proposed absorber consists of square-shaped copper patches of different sizes imposed on a GaAs (Gallium arsenide) substrate. The design and simulation of the unit cell are performed with finite integration technique (FIT)-based simulation software. Scattering parameters are retrieved during the simulation process. The constructed design offers absorbance above 90% within a 37.89% relative bandwidth and 99.99% absorption over a vast portion of the investigated frequency range. An equivalent circuit model is presented to endorse the validity of the proposed structure. The calculated result strongly agrees with the simulated result. Symmetrical construction of the proposed unit cell reports an angular insensitivity up to a 35° oblique incidence. Post-processed simulation data confirm that the design is polarization-insensitive.
