Discrimination of Modes of Double- and Single-Negative Grounded Slab
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate theoretically the waves propagation in a lossless double-negative grounded slab (DNG). This study is performed by the Transverse Resonance Method (TRM). The proper or improper nature of real and complex modes is observed. They are highly dependent on metamaterial parameters, i.e. ɛrnegative, μr-negative, or both. Numerical results provided that only the proper complex modes (i.e., leaky modes) exist in DNG slab, and only the improper complex modes exist in single-negative grounded slab. Keywords—Double-negative grounded slab, real and complex modes, single-negative grounded slab, transverse resonance method.

Session 2A1 Waves on Metamaterial Elements and Their Applications
In this paper, the wave propagation in a grounded dielectric slab with double negative (DNG) metamaterials is studied. Dramatically different evanescent surface modes (electromagnetic fields exponentially decay both in air and inside the slab) are observed. They are highly dependent on medium parameters. An infinite number of complex surface modes are found to be existing which have proper fiel...
متن کاملSurface Waves Propagating on Grounded Anisotropic Dielectric Slab
This paper investigates the characteristics of surface waves propagating on a grounded anisotropic dielectric slab. Distinct from the existing analyses that generally assume that the fields of surface wave uniformly distribute along the transverse direction of the infinitely large grounded slab, our method takes into account the field variations along the transverse direction of a finite-width ...

Existence of backward TE volume modes which are to be identified as Magnetostatic Wave (MSW) in anisotropic single-negative slab with partly negative permeability tensor component have already been revealed by present authors. In this paper, detailed modal analysis has been carried out for this kind of TE volume modes to find out their novel and peculiar properties. From these numerical results...
متن کاملModal Analysis of Finite-Thickness Slab with Single-Negative Tensor Material Parameters
Eigenvalue equations and expressions of EM fields for volume modes in an anisotropic single-negative slab with tensor material parameters is presented. By the comparison with the eigenvalue equation of surface modes along single-negative slab with negative scalar permeability, the validity of the present study is confirmed. We have also made clear which elements of the material parameter tensor...
متن کاملDynamic Response of the Coupled Vehicle-Floating Slab Track System using Finite Element Method
In present study, a mathematical model of the vehicle–floating slab track (FST) interaction is established to investigate the coupled behaviour of vehicle–track system. The FST is modelled as the double Euler -Bernoulli beam including the rail and slab. The railway vehicle is simplified as a multi-rigid-body model. The wheel–rail interface is treated using a nonlinear Hertzian contact model, co...
