    Area of Science:

    • Metamaterials and Nanophotonics
    • Electromagnetics and Wave Phenomena
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Metasurfaces offer unique electromagnetic properties.
    • Achieving coherent perfect absorption (CPA) at radio frequencies is challenging.
    • Tunable and efficient absorption devices are crucial for advanced applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and demonstrate an ultrathin, water-based metasurface for CPA at radio frequencies.
    • To investigate the tunability of absorptivity through various physical parameters.
    • To explore the potential applications in electromagnetic modulation and switching.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of an ultrathin, water-based metasurface structure.
    • Numerical and experimental validation of coherent perfect absorption.
    • Analysis of absorptivity modulation via phase difference, incident angle, water layer thickness, and temperature.

    Main Results:

    • The metasurface achieves near-complete absorption of two symmetrically incident waves across four frequency bands.
    • Absorptivity is tunable from 0.59% to 99.99% at 557.2 MHz by adjusting the phase difference.
    • High angular tolerance is demonstrated, with CPA frequency showing minimal variation for TE waves and a slight shift for TM waves.
    • Tunable absorption is achieved by varying water layer thickness and temperature.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed water-based metasurface enables efficient and tunable coherent perfect absorption at radio frequencies.
    • The device exhibits high angular tolerance and flexible control over absorption properties.
    • Its low cost, biocompatibility, and performance make it suitable for electromagnetic modulation and switching applications.
