description | Perfect metamaterial absorber (PMA) is an attractive optical wavelength absorber with potential solar energy and photovoltaic applications. Perfect metamaterials used as solar cells can improve efficiency by amplifying incident solar waves on the PMA. This study aims to assess a wide-band octagonal PMA for a visible wavelength spectrum. The proposed PMA consists of three layers: nickel, silicon dioxide, and nickel. Based on the simulations, polarisation-insensitive absorption transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes were achieved due to symmetry. The proposed PMA structure was subjected to computational simulation using a FIT-based CST simulator. The design structure was again confirmed using FEM-based HFSS to maintain pattern integrity and absorption analysis. The absorption rates of the absorber were estimated at 99.987% and 99.997% for 549.20 THz and 653.2 THz, respectively. The results indicated that the PMA could achieve high absorption peaks in TE and TM modes despite being insensitive to polarisation and the incident angle. Electric field and magnetic field analyses were performed to understand the absorption of the PMA for solar energy harvesting. In conclusion, the PMA possesses outstanding visible frequency absorption, making it a promising option. |
