Abstract

The invention provides a tunable metamaterial absorber based on a phase-change material. The phase-change material is induced into a metamaterial based on multilayer structures to enable a working band which absorbs spectra to have a tunability so as to solve the technical problem that the absorber is narrow in spectrum absorption range. According to the tunable metamaterial absorber based on the phase-change material, by means of the characteristic that the dielectric coefficient of the phase-change material changes with the changes of an additional electric field or a temperature, the tunability for the absorber to absorb the spectra is achieved, and the maximum amplitude of accommodation can reach 900 nm.
