Recent designs of dielectric-metamaterial composites have some advantages in improving the coupling effect of light in the visible region. The refractive index of the designed metal mesh or fishnet metamaterial structure consists of metals such as Ag, Cu and Al with MgF2 dielectric material as the substrate which is calculated theoretically using Bruggeman equation. It has been established recently that the dielectric-metamaterial reflector coating (DMMRC) produces outstanding results. It drastically increases the internal reflection and enhances absorption in the visible region. DMMRC is designed by two slabs with exclusive thickness and contrary refractive indices. One is dielectric material and the other is negative refractive index material (NIM). This theoretical model can be treated as a photonic crystal and hence novel light trapping mechanism can be revealed. The transmission spectrum is analyzed using the transverse matrix method (TMM). This system may also be analyzed for various incident angles and for various substrates which are used to improve the efficiency of the solar cell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
