New metamaterial as a broadband absorber of sunlight with extremely high absorption efficiency

We present computer simulations on the design and performance of a broadband and extremely highly efficient (∼98%) CMOS-compatible metamaterial nanostructure for solar energy applications. An optimized unit cell of the nanostructure consists of a 300 nm × 300 nm × 100 nm titanium nitride (TiN) base...
