Double toroidal spoof localized surface plasmon resonance excited by two types of coupling mechanisms
Abstract:
The double toroidal spoof localized surface plasmons (LSPs) on combined split ring resonators (SRRs) are proposed and experimentally demonstrated at microwave frequencies. Based on conventional printed circuit board techniques on a dielectric substrate, the designed metamaterial clearly shows two toroidal spoof LSP resonances. Two toroidal spoof LSP resonances are excited due to the conductive coupling and magneto-inductive coupling, respectively. Both numerical simulations and experiments are in good agreement. It is shown that the toroidal spoof LSP resonance is sensitivie to the local dielectric environments. Hence, the combined SRRs may be used as plasmonic sensors and find potential applications in the microwave and terahertz frequencies.

Toroids
When connected to a supply, the magnetic field generated in the toroid has field lines circular and concentric to its axis. Conventionally, the direction of this magnetic field is expressed using the right-hand rule. If the fingers of the right hand curl in the current direction, the thumb points in...

Local Anesthetics: Mechanism of Action
Local anesthetics are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a hydrophobic aromatic part linked to a hydrophilic group by an ester or amide linkage. They are weak bases and are usually available as salts, which increases their solubility and stability. Once administered, LAs exist in the body either...
