A metamaterial absorber that effectively harvests solar energy is being proposed in this paper using a simple and high flexible structure. The proposed structure unit cell comprises of three vital layers. The ground metallic plane, an intermediate dielectric spacer while patches are wisely prepared on the top of a dielectric spacer. Geometrical parameters of the proposed metamaterial is studied in order to get insight on their impact for the absorption behaviour of the structure. The results from simulation provides two excellent absorption resonance (99.96% and 99.37%) in the visible spectrum range of electromagnetic wave. Due to the excellent symmetry of the proposed metamaterial design, its absorption coefficient is polarisation insensitive for a wide range of incident angles of electromagnetic radiations.

Polarization Angle Independent Perfect Metamaterial Absorbers for Solar Cell Applications in the Microwave, Infrared, and Visible Regime
Dincer, Furkan; Akgol, Oguzhan; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EMİN; Sabah, Cumali (EMW Publishing, 2014-01-01)
We design, characterize, and analyze a new kind of metamaterial (MTM) absorber (MA) in different frequency regions for the solar cell applications. This MTM based structure is particularly presented in a range of the solar spectrum in order to utilize the solar energy effectively. The proposed MTM based solar cell provides perfect absorption for both infrared and visible frequency ranges and can be used for the realization of more efficient new solar cells. The structure is also tested in terms of the polar...
Polarisation insensitive tunable metamaterial perfect absorber for solar cells applications
Rufangura, Patrick; Sabah, Cumali (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2016-12-01)
Developing a perfect absorber based on metamaterials (MTMs) is a promising technique towards improving the efficiency of solar photovoltaic cells. In this study, a novel MTM-based perfect absorber (MPA) is proposed for solar cell applications, which exhibits an excellent single-band with high absorption rate of 99.7% in visible frequency regime (resonance frequency of 614.4 THz) with an outstanding absorption bandwidth of 15.5%. The proposed design presents a high symmetry flexibility which makes it easy to...
Solar energy harvesting with ultra-broadband metamaterial absorber
BAĞMANCI, MEHMET; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EMİN; AKGÖL, OĞUZHAN; BAKIR, MEHMET; Sabah, Cumali (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2019-03-30)
In this study, a novel metamaterial absorber (MA) is designed and numerically demonstrated for solar energy harvesting. The structure is composed of three layers with different thicknesses. The interactions of three layers bring about the plasmonic resonances. Although the main operation frequency of the structure is chosen between 430 and 770 THz, which is the visible light regime, the proposed structure is also investigated in the ultra-violet (UV) region. One can see from the results that the proposed st...
Electromagnetic energy harvesting and density sensor application based on perfect metamaterial absorber
Bakir, Mehmet; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; Dincer, Furkan; Akgol, Oguzhan; Sabah, Cumali (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2016-08-10)
The proposed study presents an electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesting and density sensor application based on a perfect metamaterial absorber (MA) in microwave frequency regime. In order to verify the absorption behavior of the structure, its absorption behavior is experimentally tested along with the energy harvesting and sensing abilities. The absorption value is experimentally found 0.9 at the resonance frequency of 4.75 GHz. In order to harvest the EM energy, chips resistors are used. In addition, the s...
Oscillatory flow forced convection in micro heat spreaders
Sert, Cüneyt (Informa UK Limited, 2002-11-01)
Anew micro heat spreader (MHS) concept for efficient transport of large, concentrated heat loads is introduced. The MHS is a single-phase, closed microfluidic system, which utilizes reciprocating flow forced convection. This microfluidic device has the potential to control transient heat loads by active control strategies. Hence, it can be utilized in various thermal management applications, mainly in electronic cooling. The MHS concept is validated by numerical solutions of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes an...
