Abstract

Metamaterials (MTMs) are increasingly popular in use as they possess superior properties that cannot be found in nature [1]. MTMs have several applications in several fields such as sensor detection, improving ultrasonic sensors, public safety, solar power management, high frequency battlefield communications, remote aerospace, and high gain antennas [2]. Since the properties of metamaterials can be adjusted according to need, theoretically a perfect absorber is possible with the use of metamaterials. One of the filler materials that is used to create MTM absorber is carbon nanotube (CNT). With CNT integrated MTM absorbers, high absorption values can be achieved, so that, more energy can be captured [3]. Tuning is possible with the right arrangement of the MTM absorber. Tuneable MTMs can arrange the frequency of a reflective index, randomly [2].

The main objective of this research is to design a Si-CNT based MTM absorber and evaluate the effects of mechanical deformation on absorption and reflection levels within the visible and ultraviolet frequency regions (400-1000 THz).
