Antireflective Huygens’ Metasurface with Correlated Disorder Made from High-Index Disks Implemented into Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

“…The shape of such submicron-sized disks (henceforth referred to as disks) can be tuned to carefully overlap electric and magnetic modes to control scattering characteristics. − Inspired by the original work of Kerker et al, complete suppression of back scattering can be achieved, making these disk-based Huygens’ metasurfaces ideal for use as antireflective coatings. − This bears the question of how to arrange the scattering elements. Disordered arrangements have been shown to possess a superior broadband response, − whereas periodic arrangements can be made entirely subwavelength, thereby suppressing all off-axis scattering . As we will show, the latter can be achieved also in a disordered arrangement if spatial correlations are tuned appropriately. , …”
