Tunable and Memory Metamaterials

Abstract

This program explored novel approaches to overcome common limitations of infrared metamaterials in order to achieve low electromagnetic losses and broad tunability of the electromagnetic response. One direction of the proposed work was to implement graphene-based metamaterials. A complimentary direction of research was focused on the development and exploration of hybrid metamaterials with reconfigurable properties at the level of individual cells operating at infrared frequencies. The proposed hybrid metamaterial, combining split ring resonators with phase change materials, enabled convenient adjustments of the refraction index profile across the area of the metamaterial.
