Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat) Nov 15, 2018 - Jul 31, 2019
Metamaterials, an artificial periodic two- or three-dimensional configuration, can change propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves, which in return can cause wave energy to get absorbed into the material. Taking this idea forward, we intro... Read More about Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat).
