Meanings

1. The surface of a metamaterial.
   • Furthermore, we discuss the potential use of our metasurface absorber design in solar thermophotovoltaics by exploiting refractory plasmonic materials. 2015, A. K. Azad, W. J. M. Kort-Kamp, M.

   • 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. 2016, Hou-Tong Chen, Antoinette J Taylor, Nanfang Yu, “A review of metasurfaces: physics and applications”, in arXiv:
   • 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. 2015, Osman Balci, Ertugrul Karademir, Semih Cakmakyapan, Nurbek Kakenov, Emre Ozan Polat, Humeyra Caglayan, Ekmel Ozbay, Coskun Kocabas, “Electrically Switchable Metadevices”, in arXiv:
2. A generalization of the metaball, not necessarily spherical.
