Abstract
Three‐dimensional (3D) metallodielectric photonic crystals with a diamond structure were fabricated in order to investigate the formation of stop bands and the absorption ability for microwaves with the dielectric absorbing media embedded into the 3D metal lattice. First, the metallic photonic crystals were prepared by filling the epoxy molds formed by stereolithography with a metal alloy having a low melting point of 70°C, followed by removal of the molds. The metallodielectric photonic crystals were then fabricated by infiltrating the porous metal crystal with a SiC/polyester mixture. The lattice constant of photonic crystals was 15 mm. The effects of different aspect ratios of diamond lattice rods, number of metallic lattice units along Γ‐L 〈1 1 1〉, Γ‐X 〈1 0 0〉, and Γ‐K 〈1 1 0〉 directions, and metallodielectric samples along the Γ‐X 〈1 0 0〉 direction on the formation of stop band and microwave absorption ability were investigated in the frequency range from 3 to 30 GHz. Metallodielectric photonic crystals formed showed good absorption ability. The measured transmission spectra of the metallic and metallodielectric crystals agreed well with the simulation of the transmission line modeling method.
