Broadband electromagnetic metamaterials with reconfigurable fluid channels
We present the design, characterization, and experimental verification of broadband and tunable metamaterials based on reconfigurable fluid channels. We demonstrate through simulation that a finite-height cylinder of water in a background medium behaves as a nonresonant metamaterial. By changing liquid type or adjusting liquid level, we tune the effective material parameters of the metamaterial...
متن کاملReconfigurable terahertz metamaterials.
We demonstrate reconfigurable anisotropic metamaterials at terahertz frequencies where artificial "atoms" reorient within unit cells in response to an external stimulus. This is accomplished by fabricating planar arrays of split ring resonators on bimaterial cantilevers designed to bend out of plane in response to a thermal stimulus. We observe a marked tunability of the electric and magnetic r...
متن کاملReconfigurable nanomechanical photonic metamaterials.
The changing balance of forces at the nanoscale offers the opportunity to develop a new generation of spatially reconfigurable nanomembrane metamaterials in which electromagnetic Coulomb, Lorentz and Ampère forces, as well as thermal stimulation and optical signals, can be engaged to dynamically change their optical properties. Individual building blocks of such metamaterials, the metamolecules...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Modeling of Metamaterials
SUMMARY Metamaterials are generally defined as a class of artificial effective media which macroscopically exhibit extraordinary electromagnetic properties that may not be found in nature, and are composed of periodically structured dielectric, or magnetic, or metallic materials. This paper reviews recently developed electromagnetic modeling methods of metama-tericals and their inherent basic i...
متن کاملOrigami-Based Reconfigurable Metamaterials for Tunable Chirality.
Origami is the art of folding two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as a flat sheet of paper, into complex and elaborate three-dimensional (3D) objects. This study reports origami-based metamaterials whose electromagnetic responses are dynamically controllable via switching the folding state of Miura-ori split-ring resonators. The deformation of the Miura-ori unit along the third dimension induc...
