Three-dimensional artificial double helices with high negative refractive index

Abstract: Chirality can be manipulated in multilayer three-dimensional helices. Multiple backbone helices can be effectively designed and fabricated, preserving their unique electromagnetic properties of chiral metamaterials. Chirality is boosted in double helices. The chirality index is four times higher than in single helices. Based on the extreme chirality, the effective refractive index of the 3D double helices is proved to be negative, with low loss.

“…The SRR type metamaterials can be used to create strong magnetic coupling among the EM fields which cannot be available in conventional methods. There are some studies realizing magnetic resonances by using different SRR configurations in literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. SRR topology consists of more than one coupled SRR unit cell.…”

“…More recently, negative refractive index of 3 dimensional compact helix structures also has been investigated in microwave frequency [25][26][27], however, which is hard to fabricate and integrate into present systems, especially in teraherz (THz) and optical region. THz is a unique frequency range which has attracted significant attention due to its potential applications in sensing, biomedical imaging, and wireless communication, among others [5,28].…”

“…4-circular double SRRs with different dimensions have been designed for multi-bands in order to optimize the permittivity characterization [1]. Hence, different MTM structure types, for instance, negative refraction index (NRI) MTMs [42][43][44]52], chiral MTMs [4,[45][46][47], and near-zeroindex (NZI) MTMs [48,49], can be additional choices, where more parameters can be manipulated.…”
