    • Acoustic cloaking transformations from attainable material properties 

      Urzhumov, Y; Ghezzo, F; Hunt, J; Smith, DR (New Journal of Physics, 2010-07-12)
      We propose a general methodology and a set of practical recipes for the construction of ultra-broadband acoustic cloaks-structures that can render themselves and a concealed object undetectable by means of acoustic scattering. ...
    • Active negative-index metamaterial powered by an electron beam 

      Shapiro, MA; Trendafilov, S; Urzhumov, Y; Alù, A; Temkin, RJ; Shvets, G (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2012-08-21)
      An active negative index metamaterial that derives its gain from an electron beam is introduced. The metamaterial consists of a stack of equidistant parallel metal plates perforated by a periodic array of holes shaped as ...
    • Characterization of high order modes of plasmonic antenna formed by nanoparticle/thin film hybrid structures 

      Chen, SY; Urzhumov, Y; Smith, DR; Lazarides, AA (Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2012-05-04)
      The plasmonic modes of a nano-antenna formed by a nanoparticle/thin film hybrid system are investigated. Plasmonic nano-antennas are well-known for their capabilities to concentrate electromagnetic wave into extreme small ...
    • Construction of invisibility cloaks of arbitrary shape and size using planar layers of metamaterials 

      Paul, O; Urzhumov, Y; Elsen, C; Smith, D; Rahm, M (Journal of Applied Physics, 2012-06-15)
      Transformation optics (TO) is a powerful tool for the design of electromagnetic and optical devices with novel functionality derived from the unusual properties of the transformation media. In general, the fabrication of ...
    • Electronically reconfigurable metal-on-silicon metamaterial 

      Urzhumov, Y; Lee, JS; Tyler, T; Dhar, S; Nguyen, V; Jokerst, NM; Schmalenberg, P; ... (8 authors) (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2012-08-08)
      Reconfigurable metamaterial-based apertures can play a unique role in both imaging and in beam-forming applications, where current technology relies mostly on the fabrication and integration of large detector or antenna ...
    • Isotropic-medium three-dimensional cloaks for acoustic and electromagnetic waves 

      Urzhumov, Y; Landy, N; Smith, DR (Journal of Applied Physics, 2012-03-01)
      We propose a generalization of the two-dimensional eikonal-limit cloak derived from a conformal transformation to three dimensions. The proposed cloak is a spherical shell composed of only isotropic media; it operates in ...
    • Magnetic levitation of metamaterial bodies enhanced with magnetostatic surface resonances 

      Urzhumov, Y; Chen, W; Bingham, C; Padilla, W; Smith, DR (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2012-02-27)
      We propose that macroscopic objects built from negative-permeability metamaterials may experience resonantly enhanced magnetic force in low-frequency magnetic fields. Resonant enhancement of the time-averaged force originates ...
    • Magnetic superlens-enhanced inductive coupling for wireless power transfer 

      Huang, D; Urzhumov, Y; Smith, DR; Hoo Teo, K; Zhang, J (Journal of Applied Physics, 2012-03-15)
      We investigate numerically the use of a negative-permeability perfect lens for enhancing wireless power transfer between two current carrying coils. The negative permeability slab serves to focus the flux generated in the ...
    • Metamaterial-enhanced coupling between magnetic dipoles for efficient wireless power transfer 

      Urzhumov, Y; Smith, DR (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2011-05-18)
      Nonradiative coupling between conductive coils is a candidate mechanism for wireless energy transfer applications. In this paper we propose a power relay system based on a near-field metamaterial superlens and present a ...
    • Nonlinear oscillator metamaterial model: numerical and experimental verification. 

      Poutrina, E; Huang, D; Urzhumov, Y; Smith, DR (Opt Express, 2011-04-25)
      We verify numerically and experimentally the accuracy of an analytical model used to derive the effective nonlinear susceptibilities of a varactor-loaded split ring resonator (VLSRR) magnetic medium. For the numerical validation, ...
    • Probing the ultimate limits of plasmonic enhancement. 

      Ciracì, C; Hill, RT; Mock, JJ; Urzhumov, Y; Fernández-Domínguez, AI; Maier, SA; Pendry, JB; ... (9 authors) (Science, 2012-08-31)
      Metals support surface plasmons at optical wavelengths and have the ability to localize light to subwavelength regions. The field enhancements that occur in these regions set the ultimate limitations on a wide range of nonlinear ...
