Configurational Resonances in Layered Nanocomposite Thin Films with Metallic Inclusions

Abstract

Absorption, reflectance and transmission of thin layered films with metallic spheroidal nanoinclusions was calculated. The dependence of the absorption, reflectance and transmission spectra on the volume fraction, the shape of inclusions when probing monochromatic beams oriented normally to the film plane were analyzed by means of contour maps. The range of the parameters obtained for morphology of the film under study can be useful as the optimal conditions of technological process for fabrication of the optically selective absorber coatings, for example, in thermal solar collectors with the desired optical properties.
