研究目的
To elucidate the far-field thermal emission from a metasurface composed of densely packed plasmonic nanoemitters and derive a new scale law for designing metasurfaces with desired thermal emission properties.
研究成果
The study successfully derives a new scale law for far-field thermal emission from plasmonic metasurfaces, demonstrating that the thermal radiation can be either positively or negatively correlated with the packing density of the emitters, depending on the mode properties of the single emitter. This finding provides a general guideline for designing metasurfaces with desired thermal emission properties, with implications for thermal management and energy conversion applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on plasmonic metasurfaces with specific configurations and materials, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other types of metasurfaces or materials. Additionally, the experimental validation is conducted under specific conditions that may not cover all possible scenarios in practical applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs quasinormal mode (QNM) theory and the tight-binding (TB) method to analyze the thermal emission from plasmonic metasurfaces. The QNM theory describes the thermal radiation from a single plasmonic emitter, while the TB method quantifies the shift of the thermal emission spectrum due to interactions between emitters.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study investigates metasurfaces made of gold nanorod arrays, with each nanorod having specific dimensions and placed on a substrate designed to reflect infrared radiation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gold nanorod emitters, substrate composed of alumina and aluminum layers on a silicon thermal oxide wafer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the emissivity of metasurfaces, with variations in the periodicities of the nanorod arrays.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The far-field thermal radiation is calculated using the Wiener chaos expansion (WCE) method, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions from the new scale law.
