Claim 0:
1. A thermal compensation layer comprising:
a first metal inverse opal (MIO) layer that includes a plurality of first core-shell phase change (PC) particles encapsulated within a metal of the first MIO layer, wherein each of the first core-shell PC particles comprises a first phase change material (first PCM) in a first core encapsulated within a first shell; and
a second MIO layer coupled to a surface of the first MIO layer, the second MIO layer including a plurality of second core-shell PC particles encapsulated within a metal of the second MIO layer, wherein each of the second-core shell PC particles comprises a second PCM in a second core encapsulated within a second shell;
wherein the second MIO layer has a heat capacity, a Young's modulus, or both that are different from the first MIO layer.
