AI Article Synopsis

  • Metamaterials are gaining global attention due to their unique abilities to manipulate electromagnetic waves in various ways.
  • Existing anisotropy models only address single meta-atoms, limiting their application.
  • A new model for asymmetrical meta-atom clusters is introduced, revealing distinct resonance properties based on polarization direction, which could lead to innovative optical technology.

Article Abstract

Recently metamaterials have inspired worldwide researches due to their exotic properties in transmitting, reflecting, absorbing or refracting specific electromagnetic waves. Most metamaterials are known to have anisotropic properties, but existing anisotropy models are applicable only to a single meta-atom and its properties. Here we propose an anisotropy model for asymmetrical meta-atom clusters and their polarization dependency. The proposed anisotropic meta-atom clusters show a unique resonance property in which their frequencies can be altered for parallel polarization, but fixed to a single resonance frequency for perpendicular polarization. The proposed anisotropic metamaterials are expected to pave the way for novel optical systems.
