Meaning of metasurface | Babel Free

Definitions

1. The surface of a metamaterial.
2. A generalization of the metaball, not necessarily spherical.

Examples

“Furthermore, by integrating individually addressable arrays of adevices, we demonstrated a new class of spatially varying digital metasurfaces where the local dielectric constant can be reconfigured with a bias voltage.”

“Furthermore, we discuss⟳ the potential use⟳ of our metasurface absorber design⟳ in solar thermophotovoltaics by exploiting refractory plasmonic materials.”

“Planar metamaterials with subwavelength thickness, or metasurfaces, consisting of single-layer or few-layer stacks of planar structures, can be readily fabricated using lithography and nanoprinting methods, and the ultrathin thickness in the wave⟳ propagation direction can greatly suppress the undesirable losses.”
