Significant (4%) absorption of microwave power focused on a thin fiber (the diameter is three orders of magnitude less than the wavelength) is demonstrated experimentally.
Electromagnetic properties depend on the composition of materials, i.e. either angstrom scales of molecules or, for metamaterials, subwavelength periodic structures. Each material behaves differently in accordance with the frequency of an…
We show that the hybrid resonances of a DMR backed by a cavity are meta-resonances, in that they can be made as perfect as possible by fine tuning the structural parameters but without the requirements of extreme materials properties, such…
This paper describes a new kind of acoustic metasurface with multiply resonant units, which have previously been used to induce multiple resonances and effectively produce negative mass density and bulk/shear moduli. The proposed acoustic…
Absorption of microwave by metallic conductors is exclusively inefficient, though being natively broadband, due to the huge impedance mismatch between metal and free space. Reducing the thickness to ultrathin conductive film may improve the…
The resonant absorption of light by an ensemble of absorbers decreases when the resonance is inhomogeneously broadened, as only a fraction of the ensemble contributes to the absorption at any given optical frequency. Recovering the lost…
Metamaterials are composite structures whose properties arise from a mesoscale organization of their constituents. Provided this organization occurs on scales smaller than the characteristic lengths associated with their response, it is…

Thin low-frequency acoustic absorbers that are economical to produce in large quantities are scarce, and their efficiency is often limited to a narrow frequency range. In this paper, we present opportunities to use highly porous mineral…

Metasurfaces formed of arrays of subwavelength resonators are often tuned to 'critically couple' with incident radiation, so that at resonance dissipative and radiative damping are balanced and absorption is maximised. Such design criteria…
