Ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene are widely used in modern optoelectronic devices, but it has been thought that their efficacy is fundamentally limited: they can absorb at ...

Thin film systems capable of absorbing light across a broad spectrum are a focal point of contemporary photonics research. These systems combine nanoscale engineering of dielectric and metallic layers ...

Perfect absorption with adjustable Q factor and wavelength is essential in both theory and application. To address this issue, a structure composed of an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ)- SiO 2 grating and a ...

The study, published in Advanced Functional Materials, offers new insights into the mechanics of PDMS surfaces, opening up greater potential for its practical application in environmental monitoring ...
