Fabricating Metamaterials Using the Fiber Drawing Method

Metamaterials at terahertz frequencies offer unique opportunities, but are challenging to fabricate in bulk. We adapt the fabrication procedure for microstructured polymer optical fibers to inexpensively fabricate metamaterials potentially on an industrial scale. We produce polymethylmethacrylate fibers containing ~10 μm diameter indium wires separated by ~100 μm, which exhibit a terahertz plasmonic...

Hyperbolic and Inverse Hyperbolic Functions: Problem Solving

An arched gate can be effectively modeled using a hyperbolic cosine profile because this type of function is smooth and symmetric about the vertical axis. When the arch is centered at the origin, its maximum height occurs at the center point. This symmetry ensures that any height below the crown of the arch is reached at two horizontal positions that are equal in distance from the centerline but lie on opposite sides.To determine where the gate reaches a height of five meters, the height of the...

Characterizing Dissipative Elastic Metamaterials Produced by Additive Manufacturing

Additively manufactured polymers have been widely used for producing elastic metamaterials. The viscoelastic behavior of these polymers at ultrasonic frequencies remains, however, poorly studied. This study reports a protocol to estimate the viscoelastic properties of 3D-printed polymers and show how to use them to analyze the metamaterial dynamics.

Hyperbolic Functions

A flexible cable suspended between two points at the same height naturally forms a curve known as a catenary. This shape results from the balance between the cable’s weight and the tension acting along its length, representing a state of mechanical equilibrium. Unlike simpler approximations, the true shape of a hanging cable is described using hyperbolic functions.Hyperbolic functions are closely related to exponential functions and are named for their connection to the geometry of the...

Susceptibility, Permittivity and Dielectric Constant

When placed in an external electric field, a dielectric material gets polarized. The charge density in the dielectric material is given by the sum of the bound and free charge densities, while the total charge density can also be written in terms of the total electric field. The bound charge density can be measured in terms of polarization, leading to the relationship between electric displacement and polarization.
