Black silicon (BSi) represents a very active research area in renewable energy materials.
The rise of BSi as a focus of study for its fundamental properties and potentially lucrative …

Optical anti-reflection means the decrease of reflection as much as possible, which has
been used in many fields such as solar cells, diodes, optical and optoelectronic devices …

Light collection efficiency is an important factor that affects the performance of many optical
and optoelectronic devices. In these devices, the high reflectivity of interfaces can hinder …

Perfect wave transmission across dissimilar media is critical in wave devices. However, the
existing impedance matching theory allows perfect wave transmission only in special cases …

The scaling down of meta‐atoms or metamolecules (collectively denoted as metaunits) is a
long‐lasting issue from the time when the concept of metamaterials was first suggested …

Light is reflected at the interface between heterogeneous media due to the mismatch of
impedance 1, 2, 3. Removing this mismatch using additional materials, a technique known …

Recently, a new 3D carbon allotrope named pentadiamond was proposed composed by
mixed sp 2 and sp 3-like hybridization. In this work, we have carried out a detailed …

Self-assembled silver-aluminum (Ag-Al) alloy nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in SiO2,
Si3N4, and SiON dielectric thin film matrices explored as a hybrid plasmonic structure for …

We demonstrate a rapid, accurate, and convenient method for tailoring the optical properties
of diamond surfaces by employing laser induced periodic surface structuring (LIPSSs). The …

In the recent decade, computational tools have become central in material design, allowing
rapid development cycles at reduced costs. Machine learning tools are especially on the rise …
