Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor01:31

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

6.4K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

896
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Induced Electric Dipoles

5.0K
A permanent electric dipole orients itself along an external electric field. This rotation can be quantified by defining the potential energy because the external torque does work in rotating it. Then, the potential energy is minimum at the parallel configuration and maximum at the antiparallel configuration. While the former is a stable equilibrium, the latter is an unstable equilibrium.
Since the absolute value of potential energy holds no physical meaning, its zero value can be chosen as per...

Area of Science:

  • Electromagnetics and Plasmonics
  • Metamaterials and Metasurfaces

Background:

  • Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are crucial for subwavelength waveguiding.
  • Controlling SPP propagation, especially introducing frequency stopbands, is essential for device applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for realizing a stopband within the operating frequency of SPPs.
  • To design and validate a capacitive-coupled structure for SPP frequency filtering.

Main Methods:

  • A new unit cell combining two H-shaped structures with a gap for capacitive coupling was designed.
  • Numerical simulations and experimental measurements were used to verify the proposed method.
  • Surface impedance matching disruption by capacitive coupling was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A stopband was successfully introduced between 9-9.5 GHz.
  • Band-pass features were maintained from 5-9 GHz and 9.5-11 GHz.
  • The structure demonstrated low reflection (< -10 dB) in passbands and high attenuation (< -30 dB) in the stopband.

Conclusions:

  • The capacitive-coupled series spoof SPPs method effectively creates a frequency stopband.
  • The proposed structure offers compact size, easy fabrication, and desirable band-pass/band-stop characteristics.
  • This plasmonic device shows promise for applications in SPP communication systems.
