Tunable acoustic double negativity metamaterial

چکیده
Man-made composite materials called "metamaterials" allow for the creation of unusual wave propagation behavior. Acoustic and elastic metamaterials in particular, can pave the way for the full control of sound in realizing cloaks of invisibility, perfect lenses and much more. In this work we design acousto-elastic surface modes that are similar to surface plasmons in metals and on highly conducting surfaces perforated by holes. We combine a structure hosting these modes together with a gap material supporting negative modulus and collectively producing negative dispersion. By analytical techniques and full-wave simulations we attribute the observed behavior to the mass density and bulk modulus being simultaneously negative.

متن کاملAnomalous wave propagation in a one-dimensional acoustic metamaterial having simultaneously negative mass density and Young's modulus.
A mechanical model representing an acoustic metamaterial that exhibits simultaneously negative mass density and negative Young's modulus was proposed. Wave propagation was studied in the frequency range of double negativity. In view of positive energy flow, it was found that the phase velocity in this range is negative. This phenomenon was also observed using transient wave propagation finite-e...
متن کاملDouble-negative acoustic metamaterial.
We show here the existence of acoustic metamaterial, in which both the effective density and bulk modulus are simultaneously negative, in the true and strict sense of an effective medium. Our double-negative acoustic system is an acoustic analogue of Veselago's medium in electromagnetism, and shares many unique consequences, such as negative refractive index. The double negativity in acoustics ...

In this paper, a magnetically tunable metamaterial is proposed and studied. The metamaterial is based on the combination of ferrite sheets and dielectric rods. The tunable property is originated from the ferromagnetic resonance and electric response of dielectric rods. The retrieved electromagnetic parameters and transmission characteristic showed that by simultaneously inspiring the ferromagne...
