Effective medium theory for anisotropic metamaterials
Materials with anisotropic material parameters can be utilized to fabricate many fascinating devices, such as hyperlenses, metasolids, and one-way waveguides. In this study, we analyze the effects of geometric anisotropy on a two-dimensional metamaterial composed of a rectangular array of elliptic cylinders and derive an effective medium theory for such a metamaterial. We find that it is possib...
متن کاملEffective-medium properties of metamaterials: a quasimode theory.
Under the generalized coherent-potential approximation, we established a "quasimode" theory to study the effective-medium properties of electromagnetic metamaterials. With this theory, we calculate the self-energy, density of states (DOS), and mean-free paths for optical modes traveling inside a metamaterial, and then determine the effective permittivity and permeability of the metamaterial by ...
متن کاملQuantum optical effective-medium theory for loss-compensated metamaterials.
A central aim in metamaterial research is to engineer subwavelength unit cells that give rise to desired effective-medium properties and parameters, such as a negative refractive index. Ideally one can disregard the details of the unit cell and employ the effective description instead. A popular strategy to compensate for the inevitable losses in metallic components of metamaterials is to add o...
متن کاملEffective medium theory of thin-plate acoustic metamaterials.
Effective dynamic properties of acoustic metamaterials made of multilayered flexible thin-plates with periodically attached mass-spring resonators are studied. By using the transfer matrix method, the thin-plate acoustic metamaterial under the plane wave incidence is characterized by a homogeneous effective medium with anisotropic mass density. An approximate analytic expression of effective ma...
