Suna) School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 (Received 29 November 2011; revised 12 June 2012; accepted 21 July 2012) A mechanical model representing an acoustic metamaterial that exhibits simultaneously negative mass density and negative Young’s modulus was proposed. Wave propagation was studied in the frequency range of double negativity. In view of positive energy flow, it was found that the phase velocity in this range is negative. This phenomenon was also observed using transient wave propa- gation finite-element analyses of a transient sinusoidal wave and a transient wave packet. In con- trast to wave propagation in the region of positive mass and modulus, the peculiar backward wave motion in the region of double negativity was clearly displayed.

Abstract Hyperbolic polaritons in van der Waals materials and metamaterial heterostructures provide unprecedenced control over light-matter interaction at the extreme nanoscale. Here, we propose a concept of type-I hyperbolic metasurface supporting highly-squeezed magnetic designer polaritons, which act as magnetic analogues to hyperbolic polaritons in the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the first Reststrahlen band. Comparing with the natural h-BN, the size and spacing of the metasurface unit cell can be readily scaled up (or down), allowing for manipulating designer polaritons in frequency and in space at will. Experimental measurements display the cone-like hyperbolic dispersion in the momentum space, associating with an effective refractive index up to 60 and a group velocity down to 1/400 of the light speed in vacuum.

However, these materials require laborious and expensive effort for both theoretical and experimental exploration. Here we numerically simulate twistronic behavior in acoustic metamaterials composed of interconnected air cavities in two stacked steel plates. Our classical analog of twisted bilayer graphene perfectly replicates the band structures of its quantum counterpart, including mode localization at a magic angle of 1:12◦. By tuning the thickness of the interlayer membrane, we reach a regime of strong interlayer tunneling where the acoustic magic angle appears as high as 6:01◦, equivalent to applying 130 GPa to twisted bilayer graphene. In this regime, the localized modes are over five times closer together than at 1:12◦, increasing the strength of any emergent non-linear acoustic couplings.

The acoustic metamaterials have demonstrated to exhibit excellent acoustical characteristics that paved a new pathway for researchers to develop effective solutions for a wide variety of multifunctional applications such as low-frequency sound attenuation, sound wave manipulation, energy harvesting, acoustic focusing, acoustic cloaking, biomedical acoustics, and topological acoustics. This review provides an update on the acoustic metamaterials' recent progress for simultaneous sound attenuation and air ventilation performances. Several variants of acoustic metamaterials, such as locally resonant structures, space-coiling, holey and labyrinthine metamaterials, and Fano resonant materials, are discussed briefly.

A near-field subwavelength image formed by evanescent waves is achieved by a designed metamaterial slab with negative mass density and positive modulus.

INTRODUCTION Recent advances in electromagnetic (EM) metamaterials (MMs)1 provide the foundation for realizing many intriguing phenomena, such as inverse Doppler Effect,2 negative refraction,3 and amplification of evanescent waves.4 These phenomena can be utilized to design novel EM devices. Pendry found that, as the combined result of negative refraction and amplification of evanescent waves, a MM slab with effective permittivityε =−1 and permeability μEM = −1 can focus both the propagating and evanescent waves of a point source into a perfect image.5 Thereby such a slab device has been referred as the perfect lens.

ELWASIFE, IBRAHIM M. QADOURA Physics Department, Islamic University of Gaza, Gaza, Palestine *Corresponding author: [email protected] We assume a three-layer waveguide structure consisting of a dielectric core layer embedded between two left-handed material claddings. The phase and group velocities of surface waves supported by the waveguide structure are investigated. Many interesting features were observed such as normal dispersion behavior in which the effective index increases with the increase in the propagating wave frequency. The phase velocity shows a strong dependence on the wave frequency and decreases with increasing the frequency. It can be enhanced with the increase in the guiding layer thickness. The group velocity peaks at some value of the normalized frequency and then decays. Keywords: slab waveguide, phase velocity, group velocity, left-handed materials. 1. Introduction Materials with negative electric permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ are artifi- cially fabricated metamaterials having certain peculiar properties which cannot be found in natural materials. The unusual properties include negative refractive index, reversed Goos–Hänchen shift, reversed Doppler shift, and reversed Cherenkov radiation. These materials are known as left-handed materials (LHMs) since the electric field, magnetic field, and the wavevector form a left-handed set. VESELAGO was the first who investi- gated the propagation of electromagnetic waves in such media and predicted a number of unusual properties [1]. Till now, LHMs have been realized successfully in micro- waves, terahertz waves and optical waves.

  • Chapter 3 Wave Properties of Particles
    Chapter 3 Wave Properties of Particles Overview of Chapter 3 Einstein introduced us to the particle properties of waves in 1905 (photoelectric effect). Compton scattering of x-rays by electrons (which we skipped in Chapter 2) confirmed Einstein's theories. You ought to ask "Is there a converse?" Do particles have wave properties? De Broglie postulated wave properties of particles in his thesis in 1924, based partly on the idea that if waves can behave like particles, then particles should be able to behave like waves. Werner Heisenberg and a little later Erwin Schrödinger developed theories based on the wave properties of particles. In 1927, Davisson and Germer confirmed the wave properties of particles by diffracting electrons from a nickel single crystal. 3.1 de Broglie Waves Recall that a photon has energy E=hf, momentum p=hf/c=h/, and a wavelength =h/p. De Broglie postulated that these equations also apply to particles. In particular, a particle of mass m moving with velocity v has a de Broglie wavelength of h λ = . mv where m is the relativistic mass m m = 0 . 1-v22/ c In other words, it may be necessary to use the relativistic momentum in =h/mv=h/p. In order for us to observe a particle's wave properties, the de Broglie wavelength must be comparable to something the particle interacts with; e.g. the spacing of a slit or a double slit, or the spacing between periodic arrays of atoms in crystals. The example on page 92 shows how it is "appropriate" to describe an electron in an atom by its wavelength, but not a golf ball in flight.

  • Acoustic Velocity and Attenuation in Magnetorhelogical Fluids Based on an Effective Density Fluid Model

Magnetrohelogical fluids (MRFs) represent a class of smart materials whose rheological properties change in response to the magnetic field, which resulting in the drastic change of the acoustic impedance. This paper presents an acoustic propagation model that approximates a fluid-saturated porous medium as a fluid with a bulk modulus and effective density (EDFM) to study the acoustic propagation in the MRF materials under magnetic field. The effective density fluid model derived from the Biot’s theory. Some minor changes to the theory had to be applied, modeling both fluid-like and solid-like state of the MRF material. The attenuation and velocity variation of the MRF are numerical calculated. The calculated results show that for the MRF material the attenuation and velocity predicted with this effective density fluid model are close agreement with the previous predictions by Biot’s theory. We demonstrate that for the MRF material acoustic prediction the effective density fluid model is an accurate alternative to full Biot’s theory and is much simpler to implement. 1 Introduction Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are materials whose properties change when an external electro-magnetic field is applied. They are considered as “smart materials” because their physical characteristics can be adapted to different conditions.

The elastic parameters of these metamaterials like the bulk and shear moduli, the mass density, and even the Poisson ratio, can exhibit neg- ative values in elastic stop bands. We show here that the propagation of seismic waves with frequencies ranging from 1 Hz to 40 Hz can be influenced by a decameter scale version of auxetic-like metamaterials buried in the soil, with the combined effects of impedance mismatch, local resonances and Bragg stop bands. More precisely, we numerically examine and illustrate the markedly different behaviors between the propagation of seismic waves through a homo- geneous isotropic elastic medium (concrete) and an auxetic-like metamaterial plate consisting of 43 cells (40 m · 40 m · 40 m), utilized here as a foundation of a building one would like to protect from seismic site effects.
