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.”
