Abstract-We have studied a new type of double-negative metamaterials (DNMs) composed of split ring resonators (SRRs) and wire strips with substrate teflon, suitable for generation of reversed Cherenkov radiation (RCR) which is TM radiation. We have experimentally observed a narrow pass band in a circular waveguide partially loaded with the DNMs and stop bands for SRRs-only with teflon and for wire strips-only with teflon, respectively. The experimental data show that the DNMs exhibit double-negative behavior over a frequency band of interest. This study provides a foundation for future experiment to observe RCR emitted by charged particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
