Design and deposition of a metal-like and admittance-matching metamaterial as an ultra-thin perfect absorber
Abstract A stratiform metamaterial, comprising metal and dielectric thin films, exhibits both near-perfect antireflection and strong light extinction to function as a perfect and ultra-thin light absorber. The equivalent admittance and extinction coefficient of the metamaterial are tailored using a...
