Multiple scattering induced negative refraction of matter waves.
Starting from fundamental multiple scattering theory it is shown that negative refraction indices are feasible for matter waves passing a well-defined ensemble of scatterers. A simple approach to this topic is presented and explicit examples for systems of scatterers in 1D and 3D are stated that imply negative refraction for a generic incoming quantum wave packet. Essential features of the effe...
متن کاملGlory oscillations in the index of refraction for matter waves.
We have measured the index of refraction for sodium de Broglie waves in gases of Ar, Kr, Xe, and N2 over a wide range of sodium velocities. We observe glory oscillations--a velocity-dependent oscillation in the forward scattering amplitude. An atom interferometer was used to observe glory oscillations in the phase shift caused by the collision, which are larger than glory oscillations observed ...
متن کاملExcitation of guided waves in layered structures with negative refraction.
We study the electromagnetic beam reflection from layered structures that include the so-called double-negative metamaterials, also called left-handed metamaterials. We predict that such structures can demonstrate a giant lateral Goos-Hänchen shift of the scattered beam accompanied by a splitting of the reflected and transmitted beams due to the resonant excitation of surface waves at the inter...
متن کاملPositive and negative refraction of magnetoinductive waves in two dimensions
Previous studies of magnetoinductive waves in homogeneous media with resonant elements consisting of capacitively loaded metallic loops are extended to the case when a single wave from one medium is incident upon another one. The relationship between the input and output angles and the reflection and transmission coefficients are determined with the aid of the dispersion equation for different ...
متن کاملFocusing on Plates: Controlling Guided Waves using Negative Refraction
Elastic waves are guided along finite structures such as cylinders, plates, or rods through reflection, refraction, and mode conversion at the interfaces. Such wave propagation is ubiquitous in the world around us, and studies of elastic waveguides first emerged in the later part of the 19(th) century. Early work on elastic waveguides revealed the presence of backward propagating waves, in whic...
