example two
As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a method for preparing the ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber of the first embodiment, comprising the steps of:
step (1): providing a substrate layer, wherein the substrate layer is made of P-type epitaxial monocrystalline silicon;
step (2): and respectively depositing 20nm Ti serving as an adhesion layer and 300nm Pb serving as a metal barrier layer on the silicon wafer by electron beam evaporation, wherein the electron beam evaporation rate is 2nm/s. Circumference p of each cell x =p y =p=3000nm。
Step (3): growing a bottom nanowire layer through five steps, wherein the radius of the bottom nanoring is r 1 =1450 nm. First, diameter r is obtained by combining colloid lithography with metal-assisted chemical etching 1 And a period p of silicon nanowires. And secondly, coating the silicon dioxide with the required diameter on the outer side of the silicon nanowire through a sol-gel process. Third, polycarbonate is spin-coated into the voids of the structure, excess polycarbonate is removed using an oxygen plasma etcher, and the SiO2 shell is removed with a hydrofluoric acid solution.

The values of the parameters in the method steps of preparing the ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber of the above embodiments are merely exemplary representations, not meant to be limiting. The values of the parameters may be specifically set according to the ultra wideband metamaterial absorber of the first embodiment.
The performance of the ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber of the present invention under normal incidence conditions is shown in fig. 4, and the ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber of the present invention has a large absorption wavelength range (high bandwidth) and high absorptivity in this wavelength range. The magnetic field distribution and Potin vector diagram of the ultra wideband metamaterial absorber of the present invention at typical wavelengths from short wave infrared to long wave infrared are shown in FIG. 5, where the surface diagram is the magnetic field distribution, the arrows are Potin vectors, and the magnetic field, electric field and absorption energy distribution of the incident light of TM with the wavelengths of 1 μm, 2 μm, 4 μm, 6 μm, 8 μm, 12 μm, 16 μm and 18 μm, respectively, are shown in the figure. The upper part of the metamaterial with the wavelength of 1 μm absorbs most of magnetic field energy. Before the wavelength reaches 6 μm, the silicon nanowire can be regarded as a resonant cavity similar to the fabry-perot cavity resonance generated inside, and the magnetic resonance phenomenon is mainly generated in the silicon nanowire on the top layer, and the energy of the region shifts downwards along with the increase of the resonance wavelength. The electric field distribution and the absorption energy distribution at different wavelengths can be seen from fig. 6. The energy absorbed from 2 μm and 6 μm is mainly consumed at the position near the silicon nanowire, the energy which is not completely consumed is limited to the interface between the metal and the dielectric, the surface plasmon resonance occurs, the electric field is stronger outside the nanoring, and the energy is consumed in the form of Fabry-Perot cavity resonance in the short wavelength region less than or equal to 6 μm. When the resonance wavelength is greater than 6 μm, it is known from the slow light effect that the resonance mode is changed at this time so that the light is confined to a certain fixed position of the structure. At a resonance wavelength of 8 μm, it can be seen in the figure that the main localized area of the magnetic field is not limited to the interior of the silicon nanowire alone in the upper middle of the structure. The pozzolan vector at this point propagates inward along the structure's external interface and energy is dissipated in the form of surface plasmon oscillations. The electric field profiles at wavelengths of 12 μm and 18 μm verify the analysis of resonance wavelengths greater than 6 μm, with the absorbed energy being distributed uniformly to the lower part of the structure. Therefore, the structure is beneficial to the absorption of light with different wavelengths, and the absorption and the bandwidth of the absorber are enlarged.
The foregoing examples and comparative examples are provided to illustrate the technical aspects and advantageous effects of the present invention in further detail, but it is not to be construed that the practice of the present invention is limited to these illustrations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, or the like, which are within the skill of the art to which the present invention pertains, are deemed to be within the scope of the present invention without departing from the concept.
