نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, electromagnetic metamaterials is a rapidly growing research domain involving electromagnetism, microwave and millimetre wave technology, optics, material technology and nanotechnology. In particular, paper concerns about the utilization of split ring resonators in negative permeability meta materials, the concept and the production of an isotropic negative permeability medium, an isotropic negative permittivity medium, CPW supporting propagation of a left-handed wave, and wire media exhibiting negative

Microstrip Antenna Gain Enhancement using Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterials
Some useful features of microstrip patch antennas are low profile, low weight and easy fabrication. However this type of antenna suffers from having a low gain, caused by propagation surface waves. In this paper, a new near zero refractive index metamaterial (MTM) unit cell is designed and fabricated as a superstrate over a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA). In order to obtain a maxi...
متن کاملResearch Trends in Metamaterials
Metamaterials are a new class of ordered composites that exhibit exceptional electromagnetic properties not readily observed in nature. In particular, artificial materials with both negative permittivity and permeability have attracted widespread interest in recent years. These composites are constructed from an array of metallic in dielectric and magnetic substrates and exhibit unusual electro...
متن کاملNegative refractive index in chiral metamaterials.
We experimentally demonstrate a chiral metamaterial exhibiting negative refractive index at terahertz frequencies. The presence of strong chirality in the terahertz metamaterial lifts the degeneracy for the two circularly polarized waves and allows for the achievement of negative refractive index without requiring simultaneously negative permittivity and negative permeability. The realization o...
متن کاملMetamagnetism and Negative-Index Metamaterials
921 Abstract A new class of artificially structured materials called metamaterials makes it possible to achieve electromagnetic properties that do not exist in nature. In this article, we review the recent progress made in the area of optical metamaterials, specifically artificial magnetism and negative-index metamaterials. It was predicted that nanostructured metamaterials could provide magnet...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of near-infrared negative-index metamaterials.
Metal-based negative refractive-index materials have been extensively studied in the microwave region. However, negative-index metamaterials have not been realized at near-IR or visible frequencies due to difficulties of fabrication and to the generally poor optical properties of metals at these wavelengths. In this Letter, we report the first fabrication and experimental verification of a tran...
