Versatile Control of Spectral Emissivity in Mid‐Infrared Metasurfaces via Silicon Microstructuring
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A family of metasurfaces is obtained very simply, solely through the structuration of a single‐crystal silicon surface, without any other material involved. Based on the infrared plasmonic behavior of highly doped silicon, further control of surface topography by micro‐ and nano‐structuration is found to enable an avenue of options toward tailoring its
