Instead of creating the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe by the decay of right-handed (RH) neutrinos to left-handed leptons, we propose to generate it dominantly by the decay of the RH neutrinos to RH leptons. This mechanism turns out to be successful in large regions of parameter space. It may work, in particular, at a scale as low as ∼ TeV, with no need to invoke quasi-degenerate RH ...

Two circuit modelling and parameterisation techniques for optimisation of a left-handed microstrip transmission line for antenna applications are presented. Such a transmission line is characterised by high transmission loss ripples in the required frequency band, which hinders its use as a wideband feeding network in antenna array applications. The first circuit modelling technique is based on...

Coupling phenomena between artificial left-handed ~LH! transmission lines are explored on the basis of a transmission line approach of LH materials. A LH forward coupler in the form of an ideal lumped-element ladder network is presented and is shown to exhibit strong forward coupling that increases with decreasing of frequency. A quasi-lumped element microstrip implementation of a LH coupler is...

A novel composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is proposed, for the first time using the Wunderlich-shaped dentiform capacitor and meandered-line short-circuited stub inductor (SSI). The CRLH TL features a larger value of CL and in turn a lower resonance relative to the previous one employing an interdigital capacitor and an SSI. The unique feature of the CRLH TL is applied to ...

This paper presents the numerical modelling and simulation of a 2D vertical well tubular model excited by coaxial radiofrequency transmission line placed in its annular space for purpose downhole RF energy transmission. The study identifies mechanism losses due to coupling between steel tubing casing using resonance mode analysis. design left-handed artificial power is proposed minimize right-h...

We report terahertz metamaterial waveguides based on the concept of composite right/left-handed transmission-lines. The waveguides are implemented in a metal-insulator-metal geometry fabricated with spin-coated Benzocyclobutene and contact photolithography. Angle-resolved reflection spectroscopy shows strong resonant absorption features corresponding to both right-handed and left-handed (backwa...
