Metamaterial Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers Willie J. Padilla, Kebin Fan Electromagnetic metamaterials are a family of shaped periodic materials which achieve extraordinary scattering properties that are difficult or impossible to achieve with naturally occurring materials. This book focuses on one such feature of electro… Publication Date: January 2022
Theory of Graded-Bandgap Thin-Film Solar Cells Faiz Ahmad, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Peter B. Monk Thin-film solar cells are cheap and easy to manufacture but require improvements as their efficiencies are low compared to that of the commercially dominant crystalline-silicon solar cells. An optoelectronic model is formulated and implemented along … Publication Date: August, 2021
Spoof Plasmons Tatjana Gric The fundamental optical excitations that are confined to a metal/dielectric interface are the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), as described by Ritchie. SPPs can be referred to as electromagnetic excitations existing at an interface between two medi… Publication Date: September, 2020
The Transfer-Matrix Method in Electromagnetics and Optics Tom G. Mackay, Akhlesh Lakhtakia The transfer-matrix method (TMM) in electromagnetics and optics is a powerful and convenient mathematical formalism for determining the planewave reflection and transmission characteristics of an infinitely extended slab of a linear material. While t… Publication Date: April, 2020
