Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

    Area of Science:

    • Plasmonics
    • Metamaterials
    • Nanophotonics

    Background:

    • Negative permeability is a key property for creating novel optical materials.
    • Periodic arrays of metallic nanostructures can exhibit unique electromagnetic responses.
    • Surface roughness in nanostructures can influence their optical performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally demonstrate negative permeability in periodic arrays of thin silver strips.
    • To evaluate the effect of surface roughness on negative permeability.
    • To compare the impact of different levels of surface roughness on the magnetic response.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of two distinct samples (Sample A and Sample B) with varying silver strip thickness and surface roughness.
    • Experimental measurement of the real part of permeability (mu') at specific wavelengths.
    • Comparison of experimental results with simulations of ideal strips.

    Main Results:

    • Negative permeability (mu' = -1) was observed at 770 nm in Sample A (7 nm roughness).
    • Negative permeability (mu' = -1.7) was observed at 725 nm in Sample B (3 nm roughness).
    • Increased strip roughness led to a significant decrease in the magnitude of permeability (|mu|): 7.8 times for Sample A and 2.4 times for Sample B, relative to ideal prototypes.

    Conclusions:

    • Surface roughness is a critical factor that degrades negative permeability in silver strip metamaterials.
    • Thinner strips with higher roughness (Sample A) experienced a more pronounced reduction in negative permeability magnitude.
    • Controlling surface roughness is essential for optimizing the performance of plasmonic and metamaterial devices.
