Atomic Force Microscopy01:08

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...
Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Background:

  • Surface waves offer unique electromagnetic properties for wave manipulation.
  • Metasurfaces provide a platform for controlling surface waves with subwavelength structures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a circuit model to analyze surface wave characteristics.
  • Designing and fabricating a metasurface with non-periodic subwavelength U-shaped metallic structures.
  • Modulating surface wave phases by varying geometrical parameters.
  • Conducting experimental measurements and numerical simulations.

Main Results:

  • Successful coplanar imaging of TE modes surface waves was achieved.
  • A planar lens for TE-mode coplanar imaging was demonstrated.
  • The imaging properties of the planar lens showed minimal influence from the structural anisotropies of the metasurface.
  • Experimental results showed good agreement with numerical simulations.

Conclusions:
