Abstract
Using finite-difference time domain (FDTD) calculations we show that hybrid graphene-dielectric-metal nanostructures can achieve daytime radiative cooling. While a metal back mirror reflects solar light, metal nanoparticles on the dielectric-graphene heterostructure host acoustic graphene plasmons that allow for electrostatic tuning of their resonance wavelengths; in particular, the resonance wavelengths can be tuned to overlap in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) with the atmospherically transparent windows between 3 um and 5 um and also between 8 um and 12 um, thereby achieving net radiative cooling at ambient temperatures. M.N.L. achknowledges support by the ORISE fellowship 2022/2023.
