Super-reflection and Cloaking Based on Zero Index Metamaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
A zero index metamaterial (ZIM) can be utilized to block wave (super-reflection) or conceal objects completely (cloaking). The “super-reflection” device is realized by a ZIM with a perfect electric (magnetic) conductor inclusion of arbitrary shape and size for a transverse electric (magnetic) incident wave. In contrast, a ZIM with a perfect magnetic (electric) conductor inclusion for a transverse electric (magnetic) incident wave can be used to conceal objects of arbitrary shape. The underlying physics here is determined by the intrinsic properties of the ZIM.

Total transmission and total reflection by zero index metamaterials with defects.
We theoretically investigate microwave transmission through a zero-index metamaterial loaded with dielectric defects. The metamaterial is impedance matched to free space, with the permittivity and permeability tending towards zero over a given frequency range. By simply varying the radii and permittivities of the defects, total transmission or reflection of the impinging electromagnetic wave ca...
متن کاملA Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterial for Electromagnetic Invisibility Cloaking Operation
The paper reveals the design of a unit cell of a metamaterial that shows more than 2 GHz wideband near zero refractive index (NZRI) property in the C-band region of microwave spectra. The two arms of the unit cell were splitted in such a way that forms a near-pi-shape structure on epoxy resin fiber (FR-4) substrate material. The reflection and transmission characteristics of the unit cell were ...

A new, metamaterial-based electromagnetic cloaking operation is proposed in this study. The metamaterial exhibits a sharp transmittance in the C-band of the microwave spectrum with negative effective property of permittivity at that frequency. Two metal arms were placed on an FR-4 substrate to construct a double-split-square shape structure. The size of the resonator was maintained to achieve t...

Light focusing and imaging represent some of the oldest applications of optics. Despite centuries of developments, however, conventional optical systems still suffer from aberrations of different types and are limited to plane-to-plane imaging, issues that are inherent to the conventional laws of reflection and refraction [1]. Metamaterials and metasurfaces have offered a route to partially ove...
