Isotropic microwave composites with negative refraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The properties of artificial isotropic microwave composites which would possess simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability are studied theoretically. Four kinds of composites are considered. Two of them concern media with split-ring resonator particles with different particle arrangements. The other two are realized with Omega particles. An analytical antenna model of the electromagnetic behavior of a split-ring resonator (SRR) is suggested and verified by numerical simulations. Next, material parameters of composite media made with SRR or Omega particles are calculated. It is shown that the Omega-composites are more prospective for obtaining negative real values of permittivity and permeability than the split-ring resonators.

Backward Waves and Negative Refraction in Uniaxial Dielectrics with Negative Dielectric Permittivity along the Anisotropy Axis
Veselago medium (also called double negative material, backward medium, left-handed medium) is a medium with both negative isotropic dielectric permittivity and permeability. It has the effect of backward waves with negative (anomalous) refraction, in contrast to the usual forward waves with normal refraction in normal isotropic dielectrics and/or magnetics. In this paper, examples of the exist...

In the 1960s, when the Russian physicist Victor Veselago first speculated upon the properties of a hypothetical isotropic material which simultaneously exhibited negative relative permittivity ǫ r and negative relative permeability μ r , the explosion of interest that was to follow almost three decades later could scarcely have been foreseen. Amongst the many intriguing implications arising fro...
متن کاملPhotonic Approach to Making a Left-Handed Material
A new approach to producing a composite material with negative refraction index is demonstrated. It is shown that a photonic structure which consists of two dielectric materials, with positive and negative dielectric permittivities, can support electromagnetic waves which exhibit the unusual electromagnetic property of left-handedness (or negative refraction index). These electromagnetic waves ...
