TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a planar device in infrared (3 - 12 μ m ) that has a high emission range from 5 μ m to 8 μ m while simultaneously serving as a broadband mirror for the rest wavelengths by engineering its thermal emission characteristics.

Infrared Perfect Absorber and Its Application As Plasmonic Sensor

TL;DR: A perfect plasmonic absorber is experimentally demonstrated at lambda = 1.6 microm, its polarization-independent absorbance is 99% at normal incidence and remains very high over a wide angular range of incidence around +/-80 degrees.

Passive radiative cooling below ambient air temperature under direct sunlight

TL;DR: An integrated photonic solar reflector and thermal emitter consisting of seven layers of HfO2 and SiO2 that reflects 97 per cent of incident sunlight while emitting strongly and selectively in the atmospheric transparency window demonstrates that the cold darkness of the Universe can be used as a renewable thermodynamic resource, even during the hottest hours of the day.

Taming the blackbody with infrared metamaterials as selective thermal emitters.

TL;DR: This Letter demonstrates, for the first time, selective thermal emitters based on metamaterial perfect absorbers and finds that emissivity and absorptivity agree very well as predicted by Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation.

High performance optical absorber based on a plasmonic metamaterial

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrathin, wide-angle, subwavelength high performance metamaterial absorber for optical frequencies is presented. But the experimental results show that an absorption peak of 88% is achieved at the wavelength of ∼1.58μm, though theoretical results give near perfect absorption.
