Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Super wideband perfect solar light absorbers based on un-patterned metal-dielectric thin film structures were designed and fabricated. Designed solar light absorbers can efficiently absorb solar light within a wide solar light spectrum from 400 nm to 2500 nm wavelength. Design and simulations were carried out by using the transfer matrix approach for structures of different metal-dielectric layers thicknesses. Fabricated devices have shown near perfect absorption from 400 nm to 1700 nm wavelength. The absorption spectral range in the infrared is limited by the capability of our measurement. Measurement results have shown that the cascade metal-dielectric layer nano-cavity absorbers have near perfect light absorption over a wider spectral range than the absorption spectral range of single cavity absorbers reported earlier. The super wideband perfect light absorbers are insensitive to the increase of incident angle with respect to the surface normal and work at large angles of incidence. Demonstrated super wideband perfect light absorbers intrinsically have low manufacturing cost.
