Abstract

This study proposes a multispectral camouflage tunable multilayer film metamaterial (TMFM) with thermal management function based on genetic algorithm (GA), which is composed of ZnS/YbF3/Ge/Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)/Au multilayer film. Through numerical analysis, we assess its efficacy in visible-infrared compatibility camouflage and radiative heat dissipation. Within the visible light band, different structural colors can be produced by adjusting the thickness of the ZnS film. The average emissivity within the 3–5 μm and 8–14 μm infrared bands is measured at 0.04 and 0.14, respectively. The low emissivity facilitates effective thermal management. Moreover, an average emissivity of 0.52 within the 5–8 μm range is instrumental in achieving efficient radiation heat dissipation. Laser stealth capability is further enhanced, with an emissivity reaching 0.70 at 10.6 μm. Therefore, this metamaterial structure has broad application prospects in both military and civilian industrial fields.
