Spatially coherent surface resonance states derived from magnetic resonances

A thin metamaterial slab comprising a dielectric spacer sandwiched between a metallic grating and a ground plane is shown to possess spatially coherent surface resonance states that span a large frequency range and can be tuned by structural and material parameters. They give rise to nearly perfect angle-selective absorption and thus exhibit directional thermal emissivity. Direct numerical simulations show that the metamaterial slab supports spatially coherent thermal emission in a wide frequency range that is robust against structural disorder.

Ferrimagnetic-like surface resonance from hybrid metamaterial slab

We show that a hybrid metamaterial slab comprising of an one-dimensional array of two different types of cavities exhibits ferrimagnetic-like surface resonances which can be used to realize interesting phenomena such as directive emission as a consequence of strong angle-dependent reflection phase and the selective coupling of a Gaussian incident beam into a higher order diffractive channel, giving rise to the phenomenon of negative reflection and retro-directive backtracking. The findings are verified by experiments in the microwave regime.
