PACS 07.05. Tp, 81.05.Zx We study experimentally and theoretically coupling mechanisms between metamaterial elements of the split ring resonator (SRR) type. We show that, depending on the orientation of the elements relative to each other, the coupling may be either of magnetic or electric type or a combination of both. Experimental results on SRRs with resonances around 1.7 -1.9 GHz agree quantitatively with results of simulations (CST Microwave Studio). Further simulations provide analysis for a variety of SRRs both in the GHz and in the 20 THz frequency regions. The variety of coupling mechanisms can be employed in designing near field manipulating devices based on propagation of slow waves.

The coupling between arbitrarily positioned and oriented split ring resonators is investigated up to THz frequencies. Two different analytical approaches are used, one based on circuits and the other on field quantities that includes retardation. These are supplemented by numerical simulations and experiments in the GHz range, and by simulations in the THz range. The field approach makes it possible to determine separately the electric and magnetic coupling coefficients which, depending on orientation, may reinforce or may cancel each other. Maps of coupling are produced for arbitrary orientations of two co-planar split rings resonant at around 2 GHz and then with the geometry scaled down to be resonant at around 100 THz. We prove that the inertia of electrons at high frequencies results in a dramatic change in the maps of coupling, due to reduction of the magnetic contribution. Our approach could facilitate the design of metamaterials in a wide frequency range up to the saturation of the resonant frequency. V C 2012 American Institute of Physics.
We describe subwavelength properties of magnetic metamaterials designed to manipulate and control the near field by employing magnetoinductive (MI) waves. MI waves owe their existence to the magnetic coupling between metamaterial elements. Magnetic field distributions and Poynting vector streamlines are used to visualise the diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties of metamaterials and to analyse working principles of MI waveguides and MI waveguide components.
