Propagation Properties and Applications of Hypercrystals
Metamaterials; hypercrystals; transmission; absorption; reflection
The growing interest in new metamaterials and hypercrystals is justified by the need for materials that meet the constant evolution of market demand, brings new questions and answers that reflect on the best ways to use the characteristics of good absorption and / or reflection. This work evaluates the behavior of hypercrystals, analyzing their transmission, reflection and absorption, which are important for applications in technologies such as solar cells. As simulated structures in the region visible to the infrared from 400 to 1600 nm, they are composed of layers of metals and dielectrics with variation in their parameters, geometries and configurations that allow to obtain better results. The results were moderate in the Transversal Electric (TE) and Magnetic Transversal (TM) modes, where the applied measures show satisfactory results of absorption and reflection along the entire wavelength, demonstrating new possibilities of hypocrisy structures and the possibility of using or structure in manufacturing and testing photonic devices.d Applications of Hypercrystals
