  1. 1. Numerical modelling of time-dependent metamaterials with the FDTD method

    Författare :Sergey Novozhilov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FDTD; time-dependent media; numerical modelling; computational electrodynamics; metamaterials;

    Sammanfattning : Metamaterials are artificial materials, usually composed of so-called meta-atoms, with electromagnetic properties which cannot be found in naturally occurring materials. In this work we study the properties of time-dependent metamaterials (meaning that their electromagnetic properties are varying with time), as well as their potential applications. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Phase transitions in magnetic metamaterials

    Författare :Björn Erik Skovdal; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Vassilios Kapaklis; Gunnar K. Pálsson; Peter Schiffer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic metamaterials; artificial spin ice; mesospins; magnetic nanostructures; mesoscopic spin systems; multiscale materials; tri-criticality; emergence; edge modes;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic metamaterials consisting of arrays of densely packed, two-dimensional nanoscale magnetic islands have degrees of freedom on two separate length scales: inside the islands, and among them. These degrees of freedom can be tuned by e.g. size, shape, island separation and lattice geometry. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modulating magnetic interactions : in metamaterials and amorphous alloys

    Författare :Nanny Strandqvist; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Alexei Vorobiev; Sean Langridge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic metamaterials; interlayer exchange coupling; superlattice; mesospins; magnetic nanostructures; emergence; amorphous alloys; CoAlZr; FeZr; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on exploring and modulating magnetic interactions in metamaterials and amorphous alloys along one-, two-, and three-dimensions. First, thin films of alternating Fe and MgO are adapted to modulate magnetic interactions along one dimension. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Fabrication and Characterization of Photonic Crystals, Optical Metamaterials and Plasmonic Devices

    Författare :Jing Wang; Min Qiu; Min Yan; Ping Shum; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Photonic crystals; metamaterials; plasmonics; Photonics; Fotonik; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Sammanfattning :  Nanophotonics is an emerging research field that deals with interaction between light and matter in a sub-micron length scale. Nanophotonic devices have found an increasing number of applications in many areas including optical communication, microscopy, sensing, and solar energy harvesting especially during the past two decades.

  7. 5. Dynamics in magnetic metamaterials

    Författare :Agnė Čiučiulkaitė; Vassilios Kapaklis; Gabriella Andersson; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Will Branford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Metamaterials are artificially created structures with properties that are not found in nature. They can be tailored to achieve desired response to external excitations such as external electric and magnetic fields, as well as to enhance materials’ optical or magnetic activity. LÄS MER
