Invisibility has been a tantalizing concept for mankind over several centuries. With recent developments in metamaterial science and nanotechnology, the possibility of cloaking objects to incoming electromagnetic radiation has been escaping the realm of sc ...

Most research focuses on varying the resonator and dielectric spacer to configure the absorption and resonant frequency of terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorbers (MAs), where a metal ground plane is used as a perfect reflector of incident THz waves. In thi ...
Originally demonstrated with electromagnetic waves, supercoupling describes the extraordinary matched transmission, energy squeezing, and anomalous quasistatic tunneling through narrow channels. This behavior is the result of impedance matching achieved wh ...
Metamaterials today are often realized as complex structured metasurfaces. Their functionality is based on combination of plasmonic resonances in metallic nanostructures and interferences. Novel concepts of bottom up fabrication using liquid crystal self-o ...
In recent years, an increasing number of pioneering studies have been carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials, following the path of electromagnetic metamaterials. These artificial engineered materials are designed in such a way so as to achieve ...
Periodic nanopatterning of metallic ferromagnets allows one to create devices with artificially tailored band structures for spin waves. We discuss our recent experiments performed on two-dimensional periodic lattices of nanoholes created in thin Ni80Fe20 ...
Acoustic metamaterials constitute a new class of structures that exhibit acoustic properties not readily available in nature. These properties can be a negative mass density, expressing the opposition of the acceleration of a particle to the application of ...
We report spin-wave (SW) propagation in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal (MC) explored by all electrical spectroscopy. The MC consists of a periodic array of 255 nm wide permalloy nanowires with a small edge-to-edge separation of 45 nm. Provoking antipar ...
A very low-loss tunable millimeter-wave phase shifter driven by dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) is presented. The device consists of a fixed coplanar waveguide (CPW) and two metallic loading strips suspended on an elastomer membrane. The horizontal o ...
