Abstract

We synthesize and systematically characterize a novel type of magnetically tunable metamaterial absorber (MA) by integrating ferrite as a substrate or superstrate into a conventional passive MA. The nearly perfect absorption and tunability of this device is studied both numerically and experimentally within X-band (8–12 GHz) in a rectangular waveguide setup. Our measurements clearly show that the resonant frequency of the MA can be shifted across a wide frequency band by continuous adjustment of a magnetic field acting on the ferrite. Moreover, the effects of substrate/superstrate’s thickness on the MA’s tunability are discussed. The insight gained from the generic analysis enabled us to design an optimized tunable MA with relative frequency tuning range as larger as 11.5% while keeping the absorptivity higher than 98.5%. Our results pave a path towards applications with tunable devices, such as selective thermal emitters, sensors, and bolometers.

Fig. 4 (a), (c) Simulated and (b), (d) measured absorptivity properties under different magnetic fields for MA1 and MA2, respectively. Insets show the zoom-in plots. The details show that as the increase of magnetic field, the resonant frequency of MA1 blueshifts from 10.99 GHz to 11.29 GHz in the simulated setup (from 11.17 GHz to 11.45 GHz in measurement), and meanwhile the absorptivity first increases from 97.8% to 100% and then descends to 93.3% in the simulated setup (from 85% to the unit and then drop down to 80% in measurement). For MA2, the resonant frequency blueshifts from 9.52 GHz to 9.66 GHz in the simulated setup (from 9.9 GHz to 10.05 GHz in measurement), and the absorptivity first increases from 99.5% to 100% and then descends to 95.7% in the simulated setup (from 92.5% to 100% and then drop down to 89.9% in measurement).
