Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Metamateriais são estruturas ou arranjos geométricos feitos a partir de materiais comuns, dielétricos, condutores, magnéticos ou por combinação destes. Os metamateriais caracterizam-se principalmente por apresentarem propriedades especiais de permissividade ( e) e permeabilidade ( µ) não encontradas nos materiais em estado natural, cujo principal efeito é o índice negativo de refração (n < 0). Essas características permitem seu emprego em diversos tipos de aplicações em eletromagnetismo e óptica, tais como filtros passa-faixa e rejeita-faixa, espelhos dielétricos, super lentes etc. Normalmente, o equacionamento envolvido no cálculo de parâmetros dos metamateriais são complexos e, na maioria das vezes, necessitam de apoio computacional. Por este motivo, o presente trabalho traz um estudo experimental sobre dois tipos de comportamento metamaterial, o de permissividade quase-zero e negativa, analisando seu desempenho sob vários aspectos geométricos e de características dos materiais envolvidos, além de propor uma metodologia de desenvolvimento, a qual possibilita um rápido dimensionamento de diversos tipos de grades metamateriais, baseada em cálculos simples ou consulta direta a tabelas e curvas de projeto. / Abstract: Metamaterials are structures or geometric arrangements made from common materials, dielectrics, conductors, magnetic or a combination of these. Metamaterials are characterized mainly because of their special characteristics of permittivity ( e) and permeability ( µ), not found in the materials at natural state, whose main effect is the negative index of refraction (n <0). These characteristics allow its use in several types of applications in electromagnetism and optics, such as band-pass and band-stop filters, dielectric mirrors, super lenses etc.. Typically, the equations involved in the calculation of parameters of metamaterials are complex and, in most cases, require high capability computational methods. For this reason, this work presents an experimental study on two types of metamaterial behavior, near-zero and negative permittivity, examining its performance in several geometric aspects and characteristics of the materials involved, and propose a development methodology, which allows a fast scaling of various types of metamaterials grids, based on simple calculations or direct consultation tables and curves design. / Doutorado / Telecomunicações e Telemática / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Acoustique des milieux bulleux : applications à la conception de métamatériaux et à la manipulation de bulles / Acoustics of bubbly media : Application to the design of metamaterials and to bubble manipulationLanoy, Maxime 02 December 2016 (has links)
Lorsqu’elle est excitée par une onde ultrasonore, une bulle d’air oscille. Les mouvementsl’interface eau-air entrainent un déplacement local du fluide hôte qui devient lesiège de la propagation d’une onde diffusée. Ce mécanisme très simple est fidèlementdécrit par le formalisme de Rayleigh-Plesset datant du début du siècle dernier. Abasse fréquence, au voisinage de la résonance de Minnaert, les oscillations de la bullepeuvent devenir particulièrement amples et la diffusion extrêmement efficace. Dansun environnement réaliste, les bulles sont présentes en grand nombre et la descriptionse complique sensiblement puisque la propagation résulte de l’interférence entre uneinfinité de séquences de diffusion.Au cours de cette thèse, nous introduirons les modèles de milieux effectifs quipermettent de prédire le comportement de fluides bulleux désordonnés. Après avoirété confrontées aux résultats issus de la simulation numérique, ces théories effectivesnous permettront de concevoir des matériaux désordonnés aux propriétés étonnantescomme la superfocalisation ou la réfraction négative.Nous envisagerons également l’étude d’arrangements cristallins et verrons que lapériodicité induit des modifications sensibles dans le comportement du milieu tout enconstituant un levier de contrôle efficace.Enfin, la bulle est susceptible de se mouvoir et, par conséquent, de ressentir desforces de pression de radiation. En particulier, Nous verrons comment la force deBjerknes secondaire, issue du champ diffusé par une bulle vers l’une de ses voisines,peut être exploitée afin de manipuler une ou plusieurs bulles mobiles au voisinaged’une ou plusieurs bulles piégées. / A bubble undergoing an acoustic wave is likely to oscillate. The displacement of theair-fluid interface generates a local compression of the outer fluid where a scatteredwave is thus created. This very simple mechanism has been successfully described bythe famous Rayleigh-Plesset formula derived at the beginning of the previous century.At low frequencies, the resonant behavior (Minnaert) is responsible for a strongenhancement of the oscillations of the bubble which thus becomes a very efficientscatterer. In a realistic media, bubbles are not isolated. The interferences occurringbetween an infinity of scattering sequences make the description of the propagation alot harder to achieve.In this thesis, we introduce the effective theories that are classically adopted todescribe random bubbly liquids. After being compared to our numerical results, thesetheories are used in order to design bubbly materials featuring some interesting propertiessuch as superfocusing or negative refraction.The case of periodic assembly is addressed as well for both a simple square latticebubble raft and a cubic centered faces bi-periodic crystal. We show that the periodicityinduces an explicit modification in the dispersion of the medium and offers asimple tunable parameter.At last, we focus on the possibility for the bubble to move inside the host fluid andwhich is thus likely to experience an acoustic radiation pressure called Bjerknes force.We show how the secondary Bjerknes force, resulting from the wave scattered by abubble toward its neighbors, can be exploited in order to manipulate one or severalfree bubble flowing near one or several trapped bubbles.

Projeto e modelagem de metamateriais acústicos e elásticos por ressonâncias Mie. / Design and modeling of acoustic and elastic metamaterials by Mie resonances.Arredondo Champi, Hipolito Alan 12 September 2012 (has links)
Os metamateriais acústicos/elásticos são materiais que apresentam características elásticas diferentes dos materiais comuns encontrados na natureza, sendo o índice de refração negativo a principal característica destes novos materiais. A literatura reporta que esta propriedade é atingida para uma faixa muito estreita de frequências, sendo um efeito muito localizado, e, adicionalmente, as estruturas propostas são ideais em extremo, o que dificulta sua aplicação prática em dispositivos acústicos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi projetar metamateriais acústicos e elásticos tridimensionais com índice de refração negativo numa faixa de frequência mais longa em relação ao reportado na literatura, e utilizando geometrias e materiais que tornem viável sua implementação prática para a fabricação de dispositivos. Com este propósito foi desenvolvido um formalismo da teoria de meio efetivo (TME), no limite de comprimento de onda longa e baixas frações de preenchimento. Com a TME desenvolvida foi estudado o espalhamento de inclusões esféricas simples, revestidas e duplamente revestidas em diferentes matrizes hospedeiras. Os resultados mostraram a existência de bandas ressonantes nos coeficientes da matriz T relacionadas aos modos monopolares, dipolares e quadrupolares. Materiais compósitos constituídos por esferas simples, revestidas ou duplamente revestidas foram analisados utilizando o formalismo TME. Os resultados mostraram que os valores negativos dos parâmetros elásticos nestes materiais estão completamente relacionados aos efeitos ressonantes das inclusões esféricas. Metamateriais elásticos e acústicos foram projetados sobrepondo dois ou mais compósitos diferentes, cada um com diferentes propriedades, de tal forma que o efeito total no metamaterial apresente as características definidas no projeto inicial. O metamaterial elástico foi projetado utilizando a sobreposição de três compósitos de inclusões esféricas diferentes. Este metamaterial apresentou índice de refração negativa na região de 2 kHz, numa faixa de largura igual a 80 Hz. O metamaterial acústico foi projetado sobrepondo dois compósitos de inclusões esféricas diferentes. Este material apresentou índice de refração negativa na região de 7 kHz, numa faixa de 500 Hz. As geometrias e materiais utilizados no projeto destes metamateriais são acessíveis e de fácil manipulação, o que facilitará sua futura fabricação em laboratório. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho sugerem a possibilidade de fabricar estes metamateriais no laboratório e empregá-los no controle de ondas acústicas, elásticas e sísmicas, assim como também no projeto de um manto de invisibilidade acústica/elástica. / The acoustic/elastic metamaterials are materials that show different elastic features from common materials found in nature and their main characteristics are their negative refractive index. The literature reports that this property is reached for a very narrow range of frequencies, as a very localized phenomenon, and additionally, the proposed structures are extremely ideals, which makes its practical application difficult on acoustic devices. The objective of this work was to design acoustic/elastic three-dimensional Metamaterials with negative refractive index in a wider frequency band than that reported in the literature, and using geometries and materials that make it possible their practical implementation for manufacturing acoustic/elastic devices. With this purpose a formalism of the effective medium theory (EMT) was developed, in the limit of wavelength and low fill fractions. With the developed EMT, the scattering of simple spherical inclusions, coated and doubly coated in different host substrates were studied. The results showed the existence of resonant bands in the coefficients of the T matrix related to monopolar, dipolar and quadrupolar modes. Composite materials consisting of simple, coated or double coated spheres were analyzed using the EMT formalism. The results showed that the negative values of elastic parameters in these materials are completely related to resonant effects of the spheres of inclusion. Elastic and acoustic Metamaterials were designed by overlaying two or more different composites, each with different properties, such that the overall effect on the metamaterial shows the desired features defined in the initial project. The elastic metamaterial was designed by overlapping three different composites of different spherical inclusions. This metamaterial shows negative refractive index in the region of 2 kHz, in a band of width of 80 Hz. The acoustic metamaterial was designed by overlapping two composites of different spherical inclusions. This material shows negative refractive index in the region of 7 kHz, in a band of width of 500 Hz. The geometries and materials used in the design of these Metamaterials are affordable and easy to handle, which will facilitate their future fabrication in the laboratory. The results obtained in this study suggest the possibility to manufacture these metamaterials in the laboratory and use them in the control of acoustic, elastic and seismic waves, as well as in the design of invisible cloak.

Microwave Devices and Antennas Based on Negative-refractive-index Transmission-line MetamaterialsAntoniades, Marc A. 23 September 2009 (has links)
Several microwave devices and antennas that are based on negative-refractive-index transmission-line (NRI-TL) metamaterials are presented in this thesis, which exhibit superior performance features compared to their conventional counterparts. These are a Wilkinson balun, a 1:4 series power divider, a four-element printed dipole array, a leaky-wave antenna, and an electrically small folded-monopole antenna. The Wilkinson balun employs +90° and −90° NRI-TL metamaterial lines at the output branches of a Wilkinson divider, to achieve a six-fold increase in the measured differential output phase bandwidth compared to that of an analogous balun employing transmission lines, while occupying only 55% of the area. The 1:4 series power divider comprises four non-radiating 0° NRI-TL metamaterial lines, each with a compact length of λ0/8, to provide equal power split to all four output ports. Compared to a conventional series power divider employing one-wavelength long transmission lines, the metamaterial divider provides a 154% increase in the measured through-power bandwidth, while occupying only 54% of the area. The metamaterial series power dividing concept is also applied to a four-element fully-printed dipole array that is designed to radiate at broadside, in order to demonstrate that the array exhibits reduced beam squinting characteristics. It is shown that the metamaterial-fed array has a measured scan-angle bandwidth that is 173% greater than an array that is fed using a conventional low-pass loaded line. The reduced-beam squinting property that NRI-TL metamaterial lines offer is subsequently exploited to create a leaky-wave antenna that radiates a near-fixed beam in the forward +45° direction, with an average measured beam squint of only 0.031°/MHz. This is achieved by operating the antenna in the upper right-handed band where the phase and group velocities are the closest to the speed of light. Finally, an electrically small antenna comprising four 0° NRI-TL metamaterial unit cells is presented which supports a predominantly even-mode current, thus enabling it to be modeled as a multi-arm folded monopole. This significantly increases its radiation resistance, which allows it to be matched to 50 Ω, while maintaining a high measured efficiency of 70%.

The application of negative refractive index metamaterials to mm and sub-mm wavelength instrumentationMohamed, Imran January 2013 (has links)
The manipulation of electromagnetic radiation via the use of periodic arrays of sub-wavelength metallic structures (unit cells), nowadays named "metamaterials", has been known of in the microwave engineering community for over fifty years. In the last decade interest in such sub-wavelength structures grew, mainly due to their ability to interact with radiation in ways natural materials could not e.g. by producing a negative refractive index (NRI). This project sought to see whether NRI metamaterials could provide benefits to the mm and sub-mm wavelength astronomical instrumentation currently in use. To aid rapid design and optimisation of devices made from a cascaded set of metamaterial unit cells, a hybridised Transmission Line (TL) model was developed where the matrix components used in the TL model were "seeded" with data taken from a Finite Element Method (FEM) model of a simpler structure. A comparison between the two found that the TL model was capable of providing results that differed from the FEM model by no more than ~10E−4 for the transmitted intensity, |S21|^2, and <1° for transmitted phase, arg(S21). A slab of material with a refractive index, n = −1, can exhibit an effect known as "superlensing". A three unit cell thick NRI slab was designed, manufactured and experimentally tested. It was found to be capable of producing an NRI across a fractional band of at least 21%, producing a refractive index value of n = −1 at around 90 GHz. The experimental and simulated transmission and reflection data show good match with each other. A highly birefringent air gap Half Wave Plate (HWP) was designed, manufactured and experimentally tested. Defining its useful bandwidth as the region where the phase difference, is equal to (−180 ± 3)° a single HWP had a fractional bandwidth of 0.3%. The bandwidth was extended by using the Pancharatnam method, developed in the 1950's to produce highly achromatic optical wave plates. The method however is applicable to other frequencies and polarisation control technologies. Optimising a three HWP TL-based Pancharatnam model, the HWP's modelled fractional bandwidth increased to 6.6%. Experimental data agrees with the model showing a plateauing of the phase difference at −180°. A highly birefringent polypropylene embedded Quarter Wave Plate (QWP) was also designed, manufactured and tested. Defining its useful bandwidth as the region where the differential phase is (90 ± 2)° a single QWP produced a fractional bandwidth of 0.6%. By optimising a four QWP TL-based Pancharatnam model, the QWP's performance was improved to 7.8%. Experimental data, whilst not in complete agreement with the model does show a reduction in the gradient of phase difference where it crossed 90°. It was found that current designs for NRI metamaterials fall short of the standards required to be used in quasi-optical astronomical instrumentation due to high dispersion and absorption. The high dispersion limits NRI metamaterials to uses in instruments built for narrowband applications. Whilst the Pancharatnam method can increase bandwidths where a flat differential phase response is required, this comes at the cost of increased absorption. To reach their full potential, NRI metamaterials' lossiness must be reduced e.g. possibly by cryogenic means or the use of "active" metamaterials.

Quantum Coherence and Quantum-Vacuum Effects in Some Artificial Electromagnetic MediaShen, Jianqi January 2009 (has links)
The author of this thesis concentrates his attention on quantum optical properties of some artificial electromagnetic media, such as quantum coherent atomic vapors (various multilevel electromagnetically induced transparency vapors) and negative refractive index materials, and suggests some possible ways to manipulate wave propagations inside the artificial electromagnetic materials based on quantum coherence and quantum vacuum effects. In Chapters 1 and 2, the author reviews the previous papers on quantum coherence as well as the relevant work such as electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), atomic population trapping and their various applications. The basic concepts of quantum coherence (atomic phase coherence, quantum interferences within atomic energy levels) and quantum vacuum are introduced, and the theoretical formulations for treating wave propagations in quantum coherent media are presented. In Chapter 3, the author considers three topics on the manipulation of light propagations via quantum coherence and quantum interferences: i) the evolutional optical behaviors (turn-on dynamics) of a four-level N-configuration atomic system is studied and the tunable optical behavior that depends on the intensity ratio of the signal field to the control field is considered. Some typical photonic logic gates (e.g. NOT and NOR gates) are designed based on the tunable four-level optical responses of the N-configuration atomic system; ii) the destructive and constructive quantum interferences between two control transitions (driven by the control fields) in a tripod-type four-level system is suggested. The double-control quantum interferences can be utilized to realize some photonic devices such as the logic-gate devices, e.g., NOT, OR, NOR and EXNOR gates; iii) some new quantum coherent schemes (using EIT and dressed-state mixed-parity transitions) for realizing negative refractive indices are proposed. The most remarkable characteristic (and advantage) of the present scenarios is such that the isotropic left-handed media (with microscopic structure units at the atomic level) in the optical frequency band can be achieved. Quantum vacuum (the ground state of quantized fields) can exhibit many interesting effects. In Chapter 4, we investigate two quantum-vacuum effects in artificial materials: i) the anisotropic distribution of quantum-vacuum momentum density in a moving electromagnetic medium; ii) the angular momentum transfer between quantum vacuum and anisotropic medium. Such quantum-vacuum macroscopic mechanical effects could be detected by current technology, e.g., the so-called fiber optical sensor that can measure motion with nanoscale sensitivity. We expect that these vacuum effects could be utilized to develop sensitive sensor techniques or to design new quantum optical and photonic devices.In Chapter 5, the author suggests some interesting effects due to the combination of quantum coherence and quantum vacuum, i.e., the quantum coherent effects, in which the quantum-vacuum fluctuation field is involved. Two topics are addressed: i) spontaneous emission inhibition due to quantum interference in a three-level system; ii) quantum light-induced guiding potentials for coherent manipulation of atomic matter waves (containing multilevel atoms). These quantum guiding potentials could be utilized to cool and trap atoms, and may be used for the development of new techniques of atom fibers and atom chips, where the coherent manipulation of atomic matter waves is needed.In Chapter 6, we conclude this thesis with some remarks, briefly discuss new work that deserves further consideration in the future, and present a guide to the previously published papers by us. / QC 20100810

[en] VIRTUAL MAGNETIC TRANSMISSION LINES / [pt] LINHAS DE TRANSMISSÃO MAGNÉTICAS VIRTUAISJORGE VIRGILIO DE ALMEIDA 16 November 2017 (has links)
[pt] Nos últimos anos, tem aumentado o interesse no uso da transmissão de energia sem fio por acoplamento indutivo em muitas aplicações. Uma das maiores limitações dessa tecnologia é a distância de operação reduzida. Alguns trabalhos recentes sugerem usar materiais artificiais conhecidos como metamateriais para aprimorar a eficiência da transferência de potência ao longo da distância. Devido às suas propriedades eletromagnéticas únicas, tais como permeabilidade magnética negativa, metamateriais podem ser usados para amplificar as ondas evanescentes do campo próximo. No presente trabalho, é estudado o uso de metamateriais eletromagnéticos para aumentar o acoplamento indutivo por meio da amplificação do campo próximo. São apresentados cálculos analíticos e simulações dos metamateriais propostos. O melhoramento da eficiência na transferência de potência é apoiado por evidências experimentais. / [en] Over recent years, the interest in using inductive wireless power transmission for many applications has grown. One of the major limitations of this technology is the reduced operating distance. Some recent works have suggested using artificial materials known as metamaterials to improve the power transfer efficiency over distance. Due to their unique electromagnetic properties, such as negative permeability, metamaterials can be used to enhance the evanescent waves of the near field. In the present work, the usage of an electromagnetic metamaterial to increase the inductive coupling by means of enhanced evanescent waves is studied. Analytical calculations and numerical simulations of the proposed metamaterial are presented. The improvement of the power transfer efficiency is supported by empirical evidences.
