The framework integrates anharmonic phonon data with neural networks to enhance temperature adaptability in thermal-photonic metamaterials, suggesting new applications.
All thermal‐photonic metamaterials (TPMs) inherently exhibit the fundamental phenomenon of temperature‐dependent spectral redshift in practical applications, yet designs rarely address temperature adaptability. It is established a universal framework integrating ab initio anharmonic phonon self‐energy datasets with dimensionality‐augmented neural networks, introducing temperature as a novel design dimension. This framework decodes high‐dimensional temperature‐structure‐material‐spectrum mappings by leveraging spectral shifts as “physical perturbations”. A physics‐constrained dataset enables a simple fully connected neural network (FCNN) to achieve unprecedented generalization, facilitating rapid inverse design for narrowband thermophotovoltaics (1‐5 µm, 1500 K), broadband & laser camouflage (3–14 µm, 1.06/1.55/10.6 µm, 300–1500 K) and full‐spectrum radiative coolers (1–25 µm, 300 K), with 120 times acceleration over conventional algorithms. Dual‐band TPMs demonstrate 55% emissivity suppression at 1100 K with 65 K cooling reduction, and 2% optical drift over 12 h at 1500 K, with 84% visible and 98% microwave (X‐band) transparency enabling multispectral integration. This work enables temperature‐adaptive TPMs for stealth systems, energy harvesting, and thermal management.
