Abstract:In recent years, metamaterial has gained tremendous attention for its extraordinary properties and applications in both microwave and optical regime. It is categorized as a material with negative permittivity or permeability. At high THz frequency (such as optical communication band), metals possess negative epsilon as metamaterials. Due to the rapid growth of nanotechnology, sub-micron metal waveguides can confine optical fields at nano-scale (much smaller than signal wavelength) that cannot be achieved by pu… Show more
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.
