Enhanced Infrared Emission by Thermally Switching
the Excitation of Magnetic Polariton with Scalable Microstructured
VO2 Metasurfaces
Posted on 2020-07-21 - 15:09
Dynamic
radiative cooling attracts fast-increasing interest due
to its adaptability to changing environment and promises for more
energy-savings than the static counterpart. Here we demonstrate enhanced
infrared emission by thermally switching the excitation of magnetic
polariton with microstructured vanadium dioxide (VO2) metasurfaces
fabricated via scalable and etch-free processes. Temperature-dependent
infrared spectroscopy clearly shows that the spectral emittance of
fabricated tunable metasurfaces at wavelengths from 2 to 6 μm
is significantly enhanced when heated beyond its phase transition
temperature, where the magnetic polariton is excited with metallic
VO2. The tunable emittance spectra are also demonstrated
to be insensitive to incidence and polarization angles such that the
VO2 metasurface can be treated as a diffuse infrared emitter.
Numerical optical simulation and analytical inductance-capacitance
model elucidate the suppression or excitation of magnetic polariton
with insulating or metallic VO2 upon phase transition.
The effect of enhanced thermal emission with the tunable VO2 metasurface is experimentally demonstrated with a thermal vacuum
test. For the same heating power of 0.2 W, the steady-state temperature
of the tunable VO2 metasurface emitter after phase transition
is found to be 20 °C lower than that of a reference V2O5 emitter whose static spectral emittance is almost the
same as that of the VO2 metasurface before phase transition.
The radiative thermal conductance for the tunable metasurface emitter
is found to be 3.96 W/m2K with metallic VO2 at
higher temperatures and 0.68 W/m2K with insulating VO2 at lower temperatures, clearly demonstrating almost 6-fold
enhancement in radiative heat dissipation.
