Metamaterial is a word that seems both familiar and mysterious to the layman: on the one hand, this research area born twenty years ago at the interface between physical and engineering sciences requires a high level of expertise to be investigated with advanced theoretical and experimental methods; and on the other hand electromagnetic paradigms such as negative refraction, super lenses and invisibility cloaks have attracted attention of mass media. Even the origin and meaning of the word metamaterial (formed of the Greek prefix μετά meaning beyond or self and the Latin suffix materia, meaning material) remains elusive.

  • The Quest for the Superlens
    THE QUEST FOR THE CUBE OF METAMATERIAL consists of a three- dimensional matrix of copper wires and split rings. Microwaves with frequencies near 10 gigahertz behave in an extraordinary way in the cube, because to them the cube has a negative refractive index. The lattice spacing is 2.68 millimeters, or about one tenth of an inch. 60 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN COPYRIGHT 2006 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, INC. Superlens Built from “metamaterials” with bizarre, controversial optical properties, a superlens could produce images that include details fi ner than the wavelength of light that is used By John B. Pendry and David R. Smith lmost 40 years ago Russian scientist Victor Veselago had Aan idea for a material that could turn the world of optics on its head. It could make light waves appear to fl ow backward and behave in many other counterintuitive ways. A totally new kind of lens made of the material would have almost magical attributes that would let it outperform any previously known. The catch: the material had to have a negative index of refraction (“refraction” describes how much a wave will change direction as it enters or leaves the material). All known materials had a positive value. After years of searching, Veselago failed to fi nd anything having the electromagnetic properties he sought, and his conjecture faded into obscurity. A startling advance recently resurrected Veselago’s notion. In most materials, the electromagnetic properties arise directly from the characteristics of constituent atoms and molecules. Because these constituents have a limited range of characteristics, the mil- lions of materials that we know of display only a limited palette of electromagnetic properties.

  • Metamaterial-Based Flat Lens: Wave Concept Iterative Process Approach
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 75, 13–21, 2017 Metamaterial-Based Flat Lens: Wave Concept Iterative Process Approach Mohamed K. Azizi1, *, Henri Baudrand2, Lassaad Latrach1, and Ali Gharsallah1 Abstract—Metamaterials left-hand negative refractive index has remarkable optical properties; this paper presents the results obtained from the study of a flat metamaterial lens. Particular interest is given to the interaction of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials in the structure of the lens Pendry. Using the new approach of the Wave Concept Iterative Process (WCIP) based on the auxiliary sources helps to visualize the behavior of the electric field in the metamaterial band and outside of its interfaces. The simulation results show an amplification of evanescent waves in the metamaterials with an index of n = −1, which corresponds to a resonance phenomenon to which the attenuation solution is canceled, leaving only the actual growth of these waves. This amplification permits the reconstruction of the image of the source with a higher resolution. 1. INTRODUCTION The way of negative refraction has sparked a rare craze after passionate debate generated by controversies on electromagnetic models. In 1968, the Russian Victor Veselago invented the converging lens plate [1]. In the late 1990s, Pendry and his team carried out work on metal wire networks (“wire medium”) [2, 3] and (split-ring resonators or SRR) [4]. Given the difficulty to achieve super-lenses, teams of researchers developed other systems exploiting the characteristics of metamaterials to achieve a sub-wave length resolution. These new devices include the wireless networks [5, 6] operating in the pipeline system, networks of nanoparticles [7], and the hyper-lenses using structures of spherical and anisotropic form [8–10].

  • Bending the Laws of Optics with Metamaterials: an Interview With
    National Science Review INTERVIEW 5: 200–202, 2018 doi: 10.1093/nsr/nwx118 Advance access publication 20 September 2017 Special Topic: Metamaterials Bending the laws of optics with metamaterials: an interview with John Pendry By Philip Ball Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/5/2/200/4209243 by guest on 23 September 2021 Metamaterials show us that nature’s laws might not always be as fixed as they seem to be. One of the laws of optics, for example, statesthat a light ray passing from one transparent medium to another—air to water or glass, say—is bent at the interface by an amount that depends on the so-called refractive indices of the two media. And all transparent materials have a refractive index greater thanthatofa vacuum (or, roughly speaking, of air), which is set equal to 1. Or do they? In the 1960s, the Russian physicist Victor Veselago explained what would be needed, in theory, for a material to have a refractive index that is not only less than 1 but in fact negative, so that itbends light the ‘wrong way’. Veselago’s idea was all but forgotten until it was unearthed in the late 1990s by electrical engineer David Smith. He was wondering ifit might be possible to make a ‘scaled-up’ version of such a material, built from ‘artificial atoms’ and later called a metamaterial, which could show this effect at longer wavelengths than those of light, in the microwave part of the spectrum. By happy coincidence, physicist SirJohn Pendry of Imperial College London, UK, had already come up with a prescription for making a similar structure from loops of wire.

  • Negative Index of Refraction
    Negative Index of Refraction Girish Gupta School of Physics and Astronomy University of Manchester BSc Dissertation October-November 2008 Abstract Victor Veselago brought about current thinking about the consequences of both the permeability and permittivity of a material being less than zero in 1968, long before it was practically realised. Since then scientists and engineers have worked hard to bring the Russian scientist’s ideas to non-theoretical use. Most notably in the field, David Smith and John Pendry have begun work in bringing about the reality of a ‘perfect’ lens. This report aims to give the reader an idea of the theories behind the concept and of the work conducted by scientists and engineers in the latter half of the last century and the beginnings of this, on the realisation of these, specifically focusing on the perfect lens. 1. Introduction and Theory The index of refraction, n, is an incredibly fundamental concept in the fields of electromagnetism and (arguably) its offshoot, optics. Its most simple definition is as a measure of the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a material (v) compared with the speed of light ( c) in a vacuum, ͢ = . A more useful definition, however, relates n to 1 the relative permeability ( εr) and permittivity ( µr) of a material, ͢ = ±ǭ -- Equation 1 – The index of refraction defined in terms of the relative permeability ( εr) and permittivity (µr) of a material. In this paper we will be taking the negative square root of this equation. This definition of n is more fundamental as the speed of light is defined alongside the vacuum—rather than ͯͥ relative—forms of these two quantities itself, ͗ = √ .

  • Negative-Refractive-Index Transmission-Line Metamaterials and Enabling Microwave Devices
    NEGATIVE-REFRACTIVE-INDEX TRANSMISSION-LINE METAMATERIALS AND ENABLING MICROWAVE DEVICES G.V. Eleftheriades Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto 10 King’s College Road Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3G4 CANADA Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Metamaterials are artificial periodic media with unusual electromagnetic properties. The size of their unit cells is much smaller than the incident electromagnetic wavelength, thus allowing the definition of effective material parameters such a permittivity ε, a permeability µ, and a refractive index n. In this paper, “left-handed” metamaterials are considered for which their permittivity and permeability are both negative. These metamaterials exhibit backward-wave propagation characteristics and therefore a negative index of refraction, as was predicted in the pioneering work of Victor Veselago [1]. Such “left-handed” or “Negative-Refractive-Index” (NRI) media were first implemented using bulk periodic arrays of thin wires to synthesize negative permittivity and split-ring resonators to synthesize a negative permeability [2]. A different approach for synthesizing 2-dimensional (2-D) NRI media in planar form was proposed in [3],[4]. The 2-D NRI structure presented in [3],[4] was realized by periodically loading a planar network of printed transmission lines (TL) with series capacitors and shunt inductors in a dual TL (high-pass) configuration, when compared to a conventional TL. The 2-D NRI medium was subsequently interfaced with a commensurate conventional dielectric, arguably leading to the first experimental demonstration of focusing from a NRI metamaterial [4], [5]. More recently, a 3-region lens arrangement was used to observe focusing beyond the diffraction limit [6]-[7] as was predicted by J.B.

    CZECH TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering Department of Physics Research thesis The cloaking effect in metamaterials from the point of view of anomalous localized resonance Bc. Filip Hlozekˇ Supervisor: Mgr. David Krejciˇ rˇ´ık, PhD., DSc. Prague, 2015 Title: The cloaking effect in metamaterials from the point of view of anomalous lo- calised resonance Author: Bc. Filip Hlozekˇ Specialization: Mathematical physics Sort of project: Research work Supervisor: Mgr. David Krejciˇ rˇ´ık, Ph.D., DSc. ————————————————————————————— Abstract: We summarize here some basic facts about history and manufacturing the first metamaterial. Some possible applications for metamaterials are men- tioned but the main concern of this work is on the metamaterial cloaking. We present some of the many theoretical approaches especially so called cloaking due to anomalous localized resonance (CALR). This concept is then used in this work. Inspired by work of Bouchitt and Schweizer in 2 dimensions calculation of the CALR for spherical symmetric setting dielectricum-metamaterial-dielectricum in 3 and higher dimensions is made . We prove here that CALR does not occur in such case. Key words: metamaterials, Maxwell’s equations, invisibility cloaking, anomalous localized resonance, localization index Nazev´ prace:´ Efekt neviditelnosti v metamaterialech´ z pohledu anomaln´ ´ı lokalisovane´ res- onance Autor: Bc.
