We investigate for the first time the capacity of a twodimensional periodic array (a metasurface) of circular nanoclusters (CNCs) of plasmonic nanoparticles to support magnetic Fano resonances. These resonances are characterized by narrow angular and/or spectral features in the reflection/transmission/absorption coefficients associated with a circular disposition of nanoparticles’ dipole moment...

Three-dimensional geoelectrical surveys are widely used to map the subsurface in areas with complex geology. Field survey methods using offset pole–dipole and dipole–dipole arrays have been proposed large efficiently. However, it has found that negative apparent resistivity values sometimes encountered contrasts, particularly when offsets between current electrodes potential dipoles used. The v...

Directional modulation (DM) is a recently introduced technique for secure wireless transmission using direct physical layer wave-front manipulation. This paper provides a bit error rate (BER)-based DM array synthesis method. It is shown for the first time that the standard constellation mappings in In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) space to a pre-specified BER can be exactly achieved along a given s...

We proposed using metal-insulator-metal (MIM) nanorod arrays for subwavelength imaging to improve the resolution based on the notable ability of field confinement of the MIM nanorods. The field distribution of a single Au-SiO(2)-Au nanorod, coupling between two nanorods and image transfer of shaped dipole sources through nanorod arrays were investigated by using the finite-difference time-domai...

We propose two practical realizations of the point-dipole crystal, shown previously to be capable of negative refraction and other metamaterial and plasmonic properties. These are: an array of highly polarizable spheres, and the complementary array of spherical cavities in a highly polarizable medium. We study light propagation through these polaritonic crystals and show that they are capable o...

classical trajectory (monte carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the h¯+c2h2 system. the method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. it is also assumed that the colliding particles have a definite size. the thermal ...
