Asymptotic network models of subwavelength metamaterials formed by closely packed photonic and phononic crystals

open access: yes, 2017
We demonstrate that photonic and phononic crystals consisting of closely spaced inclusions constitute a versatile class of subwavelength metamaterials. Intuitively, the voids and narrow gaps that characterise the crystal form an interconnected network of

Design and Fabrication of High Dielectric GRIN Lens for a Directive Antenna Using a Hybrid Filled Voxel Additive Manufacturing Technique

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hybrid‐filled voxel AM enables integration of high‐permittivity materials into additively manufactured devices. Using this approach, a graded refractive index (GRIN) lens is demonstrated, achieving a 50% antenna size reduction with enhanced directivity.

Seismic Waveguide of Metamaterials

open access: yes, 2012
We have developed a new method of an earthquake-resistant design to support conventional aseismic designs using acoustic metamaterials. We suggest a simple and practical method to reduce the amplitude of a seismic wave exponentially.

Double-negative acoustic metamaterials [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly of Applied Mathematics, 2019
The aim of this paper is to provide a mathematical theory for understanding the mechanism behind the double-negative refractive index phenomenon in bubbly fluids. The design of double-negative metamaterials generally requires the use of two different kinds of subwavelength resonators, which may limits the applicability of double-negative metamaterials.

Thin-Film Metamaterials called Sculptured Thin Films

open access: yes, 2010
Morphology and performance are conjointed attributes of metamaterials, of which sculptured thin films (STFs) are examples. STFs are assemblies of nanowires that can be fabricated from many different materials, typically via physical vapor deposition onto
