Article Abstract

This article reports an Ultra wideband nano scale metamaterial absorber with ultrathin and flexible feature for visible spectrum applications. The absorber investigated for dispersion and Fano resonance characteristics to achieve metamaterial properties as well as independent of asymmetry of structure. Maximum visible spectrum wave interaction with the cascaded split nano square meta atom also ensured to achieve the absorption at highest percentage in numerical evaluation. The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method incorporated with CST microwave studio computational tool used for the entire analysis. Numerical analysis revealed that, on average 86.66% absorption achieved for 560 THz bandwidth peak absorption for the unit cell was 99.88% and the array shows 99.79%. Dispersion gap optimized based on mode 4 to incorporate all photons for phase and group velocity inside the nano metamaterial absorber. Furthermore, the Fano resonance wave to identify the high-quality factor at visible spectrum on nanostructure meta atom and direct-indirect visible wave trapped in the structure. The dispersion gap optimization and Fano resonance make the proposed cascaded split nano square meta atom a significant candidate for visible spectrum applications like solar energy harvesting, biochemical sensing, optical range application etc.

Plasmonic superlattices enable the precise manipulation of electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. However, the optical properties of static lattices are dictated by their geometry and cannot be reconfigured. Here, we present a surface-interface engineered plasmonic superlattice with confined polyelectrolyte-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) hybrid layers to tune plasmon resonance for ultrafast chemical sensing.

Metallic oxide can induce localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) through creating vacancies, which effectively achieve high carrier concentrations and offer advantages such as versatility and tunability. However, vacancies are typically created by altering the stoichiometric ratio of elements through doping, and it is challenging to achieve LSPR enhancement in the visible spectral range. Here, we have assembled CuO-superlattices to induce a high concentration of oxygen vacancies, resulting in LSPR within the visible spectrum.
