Description

Metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of infrared absorbers, in particular to a metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The metamaterial is a composite material which is artificially designed and manufactured and has a periodic structure, the metamaterial absorber is an important research branch in the field of the metamaterial, and the metamaterial absorber has important application in the fields of sensors, filters, infrared stealth, photoelectric detection, solar photovoltaic and the like. In 2008, Landy et al first proposed a perfect absorber of single frequency consisting of a metal split ring resonator and a metal wire in (Physical Review Letters, volume 100, page 207402), in which a perfect absorption of 99% was achieved around 11.5GHz by coupling of electromagnetic resonance generated by the resonant ring and the underlying metal layer with the incident electromagnetic wave. After that, according to the design concept of Landy, Tao et al (Physical Review B, volume 78, page 241103) again achieved near perfect absorption with an absorption rate of 99.9% at 1.6THz by changing the cell structure shape and optimizing the structure parameters. However, due to the limitation of the micro-nano processing technology, the wave bands of the absorber are all in the microwave and terahertz wave bands. In 2010, Cui et al designed and realized a near-infrared band narrow-band absorber (NANO leds, volume 10, page 2342-2348), which was of a classical MIM (metal-dielectric-metal) structure, with an upper layer of square lattice gold disk, an intermediate layer of magnesium fluoride film, a bottom layer of gold film, which prevents light from transmitting, and a reflection at a wavelength of 1.6 μm is almost zero, thus achieving nearly 99% of near-perfect absorption. Since then, there are many absorbers in the near infrared band based on the MIM structure of visible light, but most absorbers have absorption of unimodal or multimodal absorption, and it is difficult to achieve a wide range of continuous high absorption. To achieve a wide range of continuous high absorption, the most common practice today is to achieve resonant coupling of multiple frequency bands by integrating microstructures of multiple sizes in a unit cell based on an MIM structure, thereby achieving absorption of a wide band. However, with the microstructure morphology, the size design is more and more complex, the manufacturing cost of the absorber is also increased, and meanwhile, the nano-scale complex geometric structure preparation needs high-cost technologies such as nano-printing and photoetching, and the preparation efficiency is low.
In summary, how to achieve perfect absorption in a wider range of near infrared band in the absorber, and solve the current situation that the structural design of the broadband absorber is more and more complicated and the preparation cost is gradually increased, are still a difficult problem in the current scientific and technical fields. Therefore, the designed perfect optical absorber in the near infrared spectrum range, which has a simple structure, can be prepared in a large area and is cheap in process, has very important practical significance and application value for solving the problems of narrow absorber bandwidth, low absorption rate, high preparation cost and the like in the existing research.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on this, the present invention is directed to solve at least one of the problems of the prior art, and to provide a metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber, which has the advantages of simple structure, low cost of process, and high absorption rate.
A metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber comprises a substrate, and a metal bottom layer, a middle medium layer, a metal microstructure layer and a top medium layer which are sequentially covered above the substrate from bottom to top, wherein the metal microstructure layer is formed by arranging a plurality of metal microstructures according to a hexagonal lattice periodic array.
According to the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber provided by the embodiment of the invention, the metal micro-nano structures arranged in a periodic array are arranged, the metal bottom layer and the middle medium layer are combined to form a metal-medium-metal structure, local surface plasma resonance is formed on the surface of a metal pattern, magnetic resonance is formed between the metal pattern and the metal bottom layer and between the metal pattern and the middle medium layer, perfect absorption is realized in a wavelength range of 1000-3000 nm under the action of resonance coupling, the average absorption rate is up to more than 98%, higher absorption rate can be achieved in a wavelength range of 2000nm, and the movement of the absorption wavelength range can be realized by finely adjusting the structural parameters of the absorber.
In addition, the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber provided by the embodiment of the invention is also provided with a top dielectric layer on the metal microstructure layer, when incident electromagnetic waves enter the metal surface, free electrons in the metal can form specific arrangement under the influence of the incident electromagnetic waves, surface plasmon waves formed by the arrangement of the free electrons are quickly attenuated in the direction vertical to the interface and are transmitted along the interface, and the dielectric layer is added on the top layer, so that the energy carried by evanescent waves can be effectively limited in the structure body, and the reflection of the structure is reduced. In addition, the magnetic field localized at the top of the metal disk due to localized surface plasmon modes can also be effectively confined in the structure by the dielectric. Meanwhile, the top dielectric layer also reduces the reflection of the structure surface, so that the light transmittance is increased.
The metal microstructure of the metamaterial near-infrared absorber is relatively simple, large-area preparation can be realized, the manufacturing cost is low, and the metamaterial near-infrared absorber has an important reference value in research in the fields of infrared stealth, infrared detection and the like.
Further, the material of the substrate is selected from silicon or quartz; the middle dielectric layer and the top dielectric layer are made of one or more of silicon dioxide, magnesium fluoride and titanium dioxide.

Further, the thickness of the metal bottom layer is not less than 100nm so as to ensure that the incident light cannot penetrate; the thickness range of the middle dielectric layer is 100-200 nm; the thickness range of the top dielectric layer is 100-300 nm, and the thickness range of the middle dielectric layer is preferably limited, so that the phenomenon that the high-loss dielectric cannot sufficiently absorb coupled electromagnetic wave energy due to the fact that the middle dielectric layer is too thin is avoided, and the absorption rate of the electromagnetic wave is further influenced.
Furthermore, the metal microstructures comprise a plurality of metal microstructure groups arranged in an array, each metal microstructure group comprises 1 central microstructure and 4 sub-microstructures symmetrically arranged outside the edge of the central microstructure, and the distance between the center of the central microstructure and the center of each sub-microstructure is 300-500 nm.
Furthermore, the central microstructure and the sub-microstructures are metal discs with the same radius, the radius range is 30-500 nm, and the thickness range is 5-20 nm. Whether the incident electromagnetic wave can resonate with the resonant cavity or not is greatly related to the size of the resonant cavity, and the matching effect of the resonant cavity and the incident electromagnetic wave can be fully improved and the absorption effect can be effectively improved by limiting the size of the metal disc.
In addition, the embodiment of the invention also provides a preparation method of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber, which comprises the following specific operation steps:
1) uniformly depositing a metal bottom layer with consistent thickness on a substrate by a physical deposition method;
2) uniformly depositing a middle dielectric layer with consistent thickness on the metal bottom layer by a physical deposition method;

4) and uniformly depositing a top dielectric layer with consistent thickness on the metal microstructure layer by a physical deposition method.

Further, the physical deposition method comprises magnetron sputtering deposition, vacuum electron beam deposition and ion beam sputtering deposition.
Further, the microstructure template is prepared by a thermal nanoimprint technology.
The production costs of the physical deposition method and the thermal nanoimprint technology are both relatively low and facilitate large-area fabrication.

The metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorbers described in examples 1-5 are prepared by depositing layer by adopting a magnetron sputtering coating technology.
The performance test of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorbers prepared in examples 1 to 5 was carried out: simulating the minimum unit cell of the optical device structure by a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, setting corresponding boundary conditions for simulation, calculating a simulation result, and displaying the near infrared light absorption effect of the metamaterial infrared broadband absorber by the measured simulation spectrogram as shown in figures 5-9. Meanwhile, in a comparative test, an opaque metal material is used as a substrate, the transmittance T of the structure to light is measured to be 0, and the absorption A is 1-R-T according to a formula, so that the absorption is only related to the reflectivity.
Fig. 5 is a light absorption diagram of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber in embodiment 1 of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, it can be found from a simulated spectrogram that the overall absorption rate from 1000nm to 3300nm is over 90%, the wavelength range reaches 2300nm, and the overall absorption rate from 1200nm to 3000nm almost reaches 99%, the wavelength range reaches 1800nm, and the highest absorption rate at 1700nm reaches 99.97%.
FIG. 6 is a light absorption diagram of a metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber in example 2 of the invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the absorption rate is over 90% in the wavelength range of 650nm to 3180nm, the near-infrared band is perfectly covered, and the absorption rate is over 98% in 900nm and 1700nm to 2730 nm.
Fig. 7 is a light absorption diagram of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in embodiment 3 of the present invention, which is used as a control group of example 1, and the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in embodiment 3 is not provided with the top dielectric layer. As can be seen by comparing fig. 5 and 7, the absorption bandwidth and absorption rate are significantly reduced after the top dielectric layer is removed, indicating that the top dielectric layer plays a crucial role in perfect broadband absorption. Incident electromagnetic waves are incident to the surface of the metal, free electrons in the metal form specific arrangement under the influence of the incident electromagnetic waves, surface plasmon waves formed by the arrangement of the free electrons are quickly attenuated in the direction perpendicular to the interface and are propagated along the interface, and the dielectric layer is added on the top layer, so that the energy carried by evanescent waves can be effectively limited in the structure body, the absorption of the energy of the evanescent waves generated by resonance is facilitated, and the reflection of the structure is reduced. In addition, the magnetic field localized at the top of the metal disk due to localized surface plasmon modes can also be effectively confined in the structure by the dielectric. Meanwhile, the top dielectric layer, such as the silicon dioxide film in this embodiment 3, also reduces the reflection of the structure surface and increases the transmittance of light, and according to the antireflection film of the quarter-wavelength method, the optical thickness of the film is theoretically one quarter of the wavelength of incident light in the medium, and by preferably limiting the thickness of the top dielectric layer, the antireflection effect of the film can be best.
Fig. 8 is a light absorption diagram of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in example 4 of the present invention, which is used as a control group in example 1, and the thickness of the middle dielectric layer is changed in the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in example 4. As can be shown by comparing FIG. 5 with FIG. 8, the absorption rate of the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in example 4 is obviously reduced in the wavelength range from 650nm to 3180nm, the absorption rate at the highest point is less than 90%, and the bandwidth is also obviously narrowed. It follows that the high loss electrolyte does not sufficiently absorb the coupled electromagnetic energy as the middle dielectric layer becomes thinner. The thickness of the middle dielectric layer has a significant influence on the absorption effect, and a good absorption effect can only be achieved within the thickness range mentioned above.
FIG. 9 is a light absorption diagram of a metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in example 5 of the present invention, and as a control group of example 1, the radius of a metal disc is changed in the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber described in example 4, and it can be seen by comparing FIG. 5 with FIG. 9 that the absorption rate is significantly changed, the absorption peak of the long wavelength band is significantly decreased, and only the absorption peak of the short wavelength band is left. Whether incident electromagnetic wave energy resonates with a resonant cavity is strongly related to the size of the resonant cavity. In order to produce the best absorption effect, the size of the resonant cavity, namely the metal structure can achieve the best matching effect through adjusting the radius of the disc, and further achieve the best absorption effect.
From the above, the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber provided by the embodiment of the invention forms a metal-medium-metal structure by arranging the metal micro-nano structures in the periodic array arrangement and combining the metal bottom layer and the middle medium layer, forms local surface plasma resonance on the surface of the metal pattern, forms magnetic resonance with the metal bottom layer and the middle medium layer at the same time, perfect absorption is realized in a wave band of 1000-3000 nm under the action of resonance coupling, the average absorption rate is up to more than 98 percent, and can reach higher absorptivity in the wavelength range of 2000nm, and can select proper structural materials by preferably designing the geometric structural parameters of the metamaterial absorber, the absorber structure can generate multiple strong electromagnetic resonance modes, and the movement of the absorption wave band is realized by fine tuning the parameters of the absorber structure.
In addition, the metamaterial near-infrared broadband absorber provided by the embodiment of the invention is also provided with a top dielectric layer on the metal microstructure layer, when incident electromagnetic waves enter the metal surface, free electrons in the metal can form specific arrangement under the influence of the incident electromagnetic waves, surface plasmon waves formed by the arrangement of the free electrons are quickly attenuated in the direction vertical to the interface and are transmitted along the interface, and the dielectric layer is added on the top layer, so that the energy carried by evanescent waves can be effectively limited in the structure body, and the reflection of the structure is reduced. In addition, the magnetic field localized at the top of the metal disk due to localized surface plasmon modes can also be effectively confined in the structure by the dielectric. Meanwhile, the top dielectric layer also reduces the reflection of the structure surface, so that the light transmittance is increased.
The metal microstructure of the metamaterial near-infrared absorber is relatively simple, large-area preparation can be realized, the manufacturing cost is low, and the metamaterial near-infrared absorber has an important reference value in research in the fields of infrared stealth, infrared detection and the like.
