Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The increasing demand for renewable energy has increased in the last decade due to climate change resulting from conventional energy and solar cells become popular. The perfect absorption in solar cells can be achieved with artificially engineered materials at low cost for solar absorbers with high efficiency. A perfect ultra-broadband solar absorber can be achieved by using metamaterial (MM) based on surface plasmon resonance phenomena. We design a near-ideal ultra-broadband plasmonic MM absorber for solar energy harvesting over an ultra-broadband wavelength range (0.4–4 μm). The structure is made up of periodic taper arrays consisting of a thin, multilayered titanium nitride–titanium dioxide MM. The proposed structure has an absorption greater than 96% between the visible to infrared (IR) regime. It is independent of both polarization and incident angle. The large operational bandwidth, high absorption percentage, and compact thin structure combined with the strong thermal stability of metal TiN make an advantageous choice for solar thermophotovoltaics.
