2. 1. Modulating magnetic interactions : in metamaterials and amorphous alloys

   Author : Nanny Strandqvist; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Alexei Vorobiev; Sean Langridge; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic metamaterials; interlayer exchange coupling; superlattice; mesospins; magnetic nanostructures; emergence; amorphous alloys; CoAlZr; FeZr; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on exploring and modulating magnetic interactions in metamaterials and amorphous alloys along one-, two-, and three-dimensions. First, thin films of alternating Fe and MgO are adapted to modulate magnetic interactions along one dimension. READ MORE

4. 2. Phase transitions in magnetic metamaterials

   Author : Björn Erik Skovdal; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Vassilios Kapaklis; Gunnar K. Pálsson; Peter Schiffer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic metamaterials; artificial spin ice; mesospins; magnetic nanostructures; mesoscopic spin systems; multiscale materials; tri-criticality; emergence; edge modes;

   Abstract : Magnetic metamaterials consisting of arrays of densely packed, two-dimensional nanoscale magnetic islands have degrees of freedom on two separate length scales: inside the islands, and among them. These degrees of freedom can be tuned by e.g. size, shape, island separation and lattice geometry. READ MORE

5. 3. Dynamics in magnetic metamaterials

   Author : Agnė Čiučiulkaitė; Vassilios Kapaklis; Gabriella Andersson; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Will Branford; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Metamaterials are artificially created structures with properties that are not found in nature. They can be tailored to achieve desired response to external excitations such as external electric and magnetic fields, as well as to enhance materials’ optical or magnetic activity. READ MORE

6. 4. Numerical modelling of time-dependent metamaterials with the FDTD method

   Author : Sergey Novozhilov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FDTD; time-dependent media; numerical modelling; computational electrodynamics; metamaterials;

   Abstract : Metamaterials are artificial materials, usually composed of so-called meta-atoms, with electromagnetic properties which cannot be found in naturally occurring materials. In this work we study the properties of time-dependent metamaterials (meaning that their electromagnetic properties are varying with time), as well as their potential applications. READ MORE

7. 5. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures

   Author : Srinivasan Iyer; Ari T. Friberg; N. Asger Mortensen; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suface plasmons; extraordinary transmission; metamaterials; shnets; split-ring resonators; plasmon-induced EIT; optical antennas; plasmonics;

   Abstract : The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface. READ MORE
