Controlling Cherenkov radiation with transformation-optical metamaterials.
In high energy physics, unknown particles are identified by determining their mass from the Cherenkov radiation cone that is emitted as they pass through the detector apparatus. However, at higher particle momentum, the angle of the Cherenkov cone saturates to a value independent of the mass of the generating particle, making it difficult to effectively distinguish between different particles. ...
متن کاملFlipping Photons Backward: Reversed Cherenkov Radiation Inspired by Metamaterials
Charged particles traveling through a conventional medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in the medium produce Cherenkov radiation in the forward directions, which is useful for particle identification and counting. Newly designed metamaterial, with their negative index of refraction, flips the radiated photons backward and thus readily separates the radiation from the emitting part...
متن کاملResearch Progress in Reversed Cherenkov Radiation in Double-negative Metamaterials
We review the research progress in reversed Cherenkov radiation in double-negative metamaterials (DNMs) starting from the first experimental verification of the DNMs reported in 2001, including theories, numerical computation and simulation and experiments. We also discuss the potential applications to particle detectors and highpower microwave or millimeter-wave devices, including the oscillat...
متن کاملControlling spontaneous emission with metamaterials.
We have observed, in metamaterial with hyperbolic dispersion (an array of silver nanowires in alumina membrane), a sixfold reduction of the emission lifetime of dye deposited onto the metamaterial's surface. This serves as evidence of an anomalously high density of photonic states in hyperbolic metamaterials, demonstrates the feasibility of an earlier-predicted single-photon gun, and paves the ...
متن کاملControlling sound with acoustic metamaterials
| Acoustic metamaterials can manipulate and control sound waves in ways that are not possible in conventional materials. Metamaterials with zero, or even negative, refractive index for sound offer new possibilities for acoustic imaging and for the control of sound at subwavelength scales. The combination of transformation acoustics theory and highly anisotropic acoustic metamaterials enables pr...
