Design, fabrication and optimization of electromagnetic absorption metamaterials

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/accb42

Abstract For decades, the rapid development of wireless communication has provided people a smarter way of living. However, a significant increase in electromagnetic pollution is an unavoidable consequence. Evading radar detection in modern warfare has also become an important prerequisite for survival on the battlefield. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and types of electromagnetic absorption metamaterials, especially their design and preparation methods. Moreover, this review focuses on the strategies used to optimize the absorber absorption performance. Finally, this review presents a viewpoint on future research on electromagnetic absorption metamaterials, the main challenges that need to be addressed and the possible solutions.
