Composite Medium with Simultaneously Negative Permeability and Permittivity
Open accessAbstract
We demonstrate a composite medium, based on a periodic array of interspaced conducting nonmagnetic split ring resonators and continuous wires, that exhibits a frequency region in the microwave regime with simultaneously negative values of effective permeability &mgr;(eff)(omega) and permittivity varepsilon(eff)(omega). This structure forms a "left-handed" medium, for which it has been predicted that such phenomena as the Doppler effect, Cherenkov radiation, and even Snell's law are inverted. It is now possible through microwave experiments to test for these effects using this new metamaterial.

A hexagonal lattice of epsilon/mu-matched rods implies Dirac-cone linear photonic dispersion near the K and K' corner points of the Brillouin zone.
“The hexagonal symmetry of the structure implies Dirac-cone linear photonic dispersion near the K and K corner points of the Brillouin zone [ 16] (see inset to Fig. 1a) that simplifies mapping to electronic systems [ 1, 2].”

The proposed photonic meta-crystal preserves time-reversal symmetry and realizes a quantum spin Hall response with spin-polarized one-way photonic edge transport, unlike earlier photonic crystal structures that break time-reversal symmetry.
“In contrast, our photonic meta-crystal structure preserves time-reversal symmetry and realizes quantum spin Hall response with spin-polarized one-way photonic edge transport.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
