4 What are Metamaterials? A composite or structured material that exhibits properties not found in naturally occurring materials or compounds. Left-handed materials have electromagnetic properties that are distinct from any known material, and hence are examples of metamaterials.

5 Why Create Metamaterials? The electromagnetic response of naturally occurring materials is limited. Metamaterials can extend material properties, while simultaneously providing other advantageous properties (e.g., strength, thermal, conformal) Construct new bulk materials from unit cell blocks engineered to exploit small scale physics Possibility of materials with ideal electromagnetic response over broad frequency ranges, that can be customized, made active, or made tunable.

6 Material Properties All EM phenomena can be explained by Maxwell s four Equations. ε = permittivity; μ = permeability ε relates to materials ability to transmit an electric field μ - degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to a magnetic field Quantities ε and μ are typically positive. When ε and μ are both negative, there are dramatically new properties

8 Left-handed Metamaterial ε <0 and μ<0 within same frequency range Also referred to as DNG, BW waves, or NIMs In the propagation of electromagnetic waves, the direction of energy flow is given by a right-hand rule, involving E, H, and S: The propagation, or phase velocity, is usually also determined by a right hand rule: Thus, when ε < 0 and μ < 0, the medium is Left-Handed!

9 Physics of LHM Conventional Materials ε>0, μ>0 Double-Negative Materials ε<0, μ<0 k k S E H S E H Right-Handed System Left-Handed System

10 Unique Properties of LHM Light propagates in the opposite direction as energy flows! Reversal of the Doppler shift for radiation Reversal of Cherenkov radiation. Cherenkov radiation is the light emitted when a charged particle passes through a medium, under certain conditions. In a normal material, the emitted light is in the forward direction, while in the Left-handed medium, light is emitted in the reverse direction.

11 Unique Properties of LHM (cont'd) Reversal of Snell s Law Light that enters a left-handed material from a right-handed medium will undergo refraction, but opposite to that usually observed. Reversal due to negative index-of-refraction As an example, a lens made from LHM that would be converging if made from conventional material, will be diverging, and vice-versa.

13 Manufacturing Negative ε and μ Periodic array of conducting elements can behave as an effective medium for EM scattering for λ>d & a Negative ε: J.B. Pendry et al, Phys. Rev. Let. 76, 4773 (1996)

14 Manufacturing Negative μ Create magnetic resonance with nonmagnetic materials Use split ring resonator to get capacitiveinductive resonance Strong resonance gives negative μ J.B. Pendry et al, IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech. 47, 2075 (1999).
