Abstract

Broadband metamaterial absorbers hold promise for solar energy harvesting, but their complex designs and use of expensive noble metals hinder scalability and thermal stability. Additionally, traditional design methods are time-consuming. We propose a novel approach that combines a genetic algorithm with the transfer matrix method to optimize both material composition and layer structure for large-scale, cost-effective, and thermally stable solar absorbers. This method enables the design of near-perfect absorbers with an average absorptance exceeding 90 % and over 80 % across a broad wavelength range (0.3–2.5 μm) within the key solar spectrum. By optimizing the arrangement of metal and insulator layers using nitride materials (e.g., vanadium nitride), we achieve superior performance compared to traditional metal–insulator and insulator–metal structures. This optimization utilizes resonant absorption and the inherent absorption of metal layers. Our work paves the way for efficient and scalable solar energy harvesting devices.

设计和优化基于过渡金属氮化物薄膜的宽带近完美吸收器,用于太阳能收集
宽带超材料吸收器有望用于太阳能收集,但其复杂的设计和昂贵贵金属的使用阻碍了其可扩展性和热稳定性。此外,传统的设计方法非常耗时。我们提出了一种新方法,将遗传算法与转移矩阵法相结合,对材料成分和层结构进行优化,从而设计出大规模、高性价比和热稳定性的太阳能吸收器。这种方法能够设计出近乎完美的吸收器,其平均吸收率超过 90%,在关键太阳光谱的宽波长范围(0.3-2.5 μm)内超过 80%。通过使用氮化物材料(如氮化钒)优化金属层和绝缘体层的排列,我们实现了优于传统金属-绝缘体和绝缘体-金属结构的性能。这种优化利用了共振吸收和金属层的固有吸收。我们的工作为高效、可扩展的太阳能收集设备铺平了道路。

期刊介绍: Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics. Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers: 1. Full research papers 2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as: - Data and/or a plot plus a description - Description of a new method or instrumentation - Negative results - Concept or design study 3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
