Dataset related to the publication: Zhenmin Ding, Xin Li, Hulin Zhang, Dukang Yan, Jérémy Werlé, Ying Song, Lorenzo Pattelli, Jiupeng Zhao, Hongbo Xu, Yao Li. Robust radiative cooling via surface phonon coupling-enhanced emissivity from SiO2 micropillar arrays. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 220, 125004 (2024). doi: 10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2023.125004 The repository contains MATLAB/Octave scripts to perform rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) simulations for a SiO2 layer decorated with micropillars. The main script runs a series of rigorous electromagnetic simulations over the atmospheric transparency window wavelength range (8-13 µm) for all combination of three main structural parameters (pillar diameter, spacing and height), within a user-defined range. Running the code requires the RETICOLO v9 RCWA code: Jean-Paul Hugonin, & Philippe Lalanne. (2021). Light-in-complex-nanostructures/RETICOLO: V9. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4419063
