Metamaterials with index ellipsoids at arbitrary k-points.

Abstract:

:Propagation behaviors of electromagnetic waves are governed by the equifrequency surface of the medium. Up to now, ordinary materials, including the medium exist in nature and the man-made metamaterials, always have an equifrequency surface (ellipsoid or hyperboloid) centered at zero k-point. Here we propose a new type of metamaterial possessing multiple index ellipsoids centered at arbitrary nonzero k-points. Their locations in momentum space are determined by the connectivity of a set of interpenetrating metallic scaffolds, whereas the group velocities of the modes are determined by the geometrical details. Such system is a new class of metamaterial whose properties arise from global connectivity and hence can have broadband functionality in applications such as negative refraction, orientation-dependent coupling effect, and cavity without walls, and they are fundamentally different from ordinary resonant metamaterials that are inherently bandwidth limited. We perform microwave experiments to confirm our findings.

    abstract::Respiration by soil bacteria and fungi is one of the largest fluxes of carbon (C) from the land surface. Although this flux is a direct product of microbial metabolism, controls over metabolism and their responses to global change are a major uncertainty in the global C cycle.
