Broadband Omnidirectional Nearly Perfect Plasmonic Absorber For Solar Energy Harvesting

In this paper, an efficient, broadband, omnidirectional visible plasmonic absorber is presented and numerically simulated using the rigorous three-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the 2-D finite element method. The proposed absorber comprises hollow cylindrical layers of a...
