Direct visual observation of thermal capillary waves.
We studied the free fluid-fluid interface in a phase-separated colloid-polymer dispersion with laser scanning confocal microscopy and directly observed thermally induced capillary waves at the interface in real space. Experimental results for static and dynamic correlation functions validate the capillary wave model down to almost the particle level. The ultralow interfacial tension, the capill...
متن کاملObservation of star-shaped surface gravity waves.
We report a new type of standing gravity wave of large amplitude, having alternatively the shape of a star and of a polygon. This wave is observed by means of a laboratory experiment by vertically vibrating a tank. The symmetry of the star (i.e., the number of branches) is independent of the container form and size, and can be changed according to the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. W...
متن کاملNegative index media in microwave waveguide
Microwave waveguide measurements of negative index media (NIM) are reported. Accurate determination of the frequency variation of the complex scattering parameters yields the refractive index " ' ) ( ~ in n n + = ω for the NIM with ' n varying between -3.9 to -0.3 in the passband region of 9.7-10.5 GHz. The results show that transmission is optimized for 1 ' − ≈ n and small " n . PACS numbers: ...
متن کاملDirect observation of surface plasmon-polariton dispersion.
We describe a method to observe the directional emission of electromagnetic radiation produced by the radiative decay of surface plasmonpolaritons (SPPs) that allows the dispersion of the modes in k-space to be directly visualized. The method presented here opens up the possibility of characterizing the effect of a wide range of surface morphologies on SPP dispersion. As an example we show the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of surface plasmon waves in metaldielectric- metal structures and the criterion for negative refractive index.
Surface plasmon waves in metal-dielectric-metal structures have been theoretically examined. Because of the existence of evanescent waves that can have comparable or smaller decay rates than the propagating waves, the sign of dispersion does not necessarily indicate the sign of effective refractive index for these structures. By using the direction of energy decay to distinguish the sign of ind...
