Transient and Flexible Hyperbolic Metamaterials on Freeform Surfaces

Abstract Transient technology is deemed as a paramount breakthrough for its particular functionality that can be implemented at a specific time and then totally dissolved. Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) with high wave-vector modes for negative refraction or with high photonic density of states to r...
