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 ...
