## Description

- description: Ni–Al intermetallic compounds are highly stable, heat-resistant superalloys
    that have been studied as possible materials for automotive and aerospace applications.
    However, no reports of their thermophotonic applications, such as high-temperature
    IR emitters, have been reported. Herein, an integrated approach that  combines
    a theoretical investigation of the optical properties of Ni–Al compounds with
    an optimized geometrical microdevice design is reported. Benchmarking of the optical
    properties and device performance revealed that NiAl exhibited the best optical
    properties among the surveyed families of Ni–Al intermetallic compounds, comparable
    to those of conventional plasmonic materials in the IR region. Additionally, the
    NiAl based microdevices exhibited an excellent quality of 692, making them promising
    high-temperature plasmonic superalloys for IR thermophotonic applications. In
    addition, the experimental dielectric function in the IR region was consistent
    with the simulated value. Simultaneously, various designs of plasmonic metamaterial
    structures are modeled successfully based on NiAl, demonstrating the good performance
    of this material as a perfect spectroscopic absorber and emitter operating in
    the IR region.
