Syms RRA, Solymar L, 2012, Effective permeability of a metamaterial: Against conventional wisdom, APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, Vol: 100, ISSN: 0003-6951

A method for finding the effective permeability of metamaterials is presented, based on the interaction between electromagnetic and magnetoinductive waves. Assuming a coupled circuit model for the interaction, a dispersion equation is derived that exhibits two types of bandgaps, one leading to complex solutions and the other to purely evanescent waves. Although losses are disregarded, the effective permeability (in contrast to established theories) is shown to have an imaginary part in part of the stop band, while its real part remains finite in both the pass band and the stop band.

Syms RRA, Sydoruk O, Solymar L, 2011, Lossy metamaterials: No effective medium properties without noise, PHYSICAL REVIEW B, Vol: 84, ISSN: 1098-0121

Lossy metamaterial elements act as sources of Johnson noise, making such materials inherently noisy. A coupled transmission line model capable of describing the effective medium properties, propagation and internal reflections, the internal noise distribution, and the noise factor is developed. Two analyses are provided, a numerical solution with limited physical insight and an approximation based on physical principles, and excellent agreement is obtained. It is shown that the internal noise spectrum is modified as it couples to the electromagnetic wave, and that there can be no change in permeability without an increase in the noise factor. This result implies that metamaterials will require careful evaluation of their noise performance before use in practical devices.

RRA S, Shamonina E, Solymar L, 2011, Near-field Image Transfer by Magneto-Inductive Arrays: a Modal Perspective, Metamaterials, Vol: 5, Pages: 8-25, ISSN: 1873-1988

A simple model of near-field pixel-to-pixel image transfer usingmagneto-inductive arrays is presented. The response of N-dimensionalrectangular arrays is first found as an excitation of eigenmodes. Thisanalytical method involves approximating the effect of sources and detectors,and replaces the problem of solving large numbers of simultaneous equationswith that of evaluating a sum. Expressions are given for the modal expansioncoefficients, and in the low-loss case it is shown that the coefficient valuesdepend only on the difference in reciprocal frequency space of the operatingfrequency from the resonant frequency of each mode. Analytic expressions arethen derived for quasi-optical quantities such as the spatial frequencyresponse, point-spread function and resolving power, and their implications forimaging fidelity and resolution are examined for arrays of different dimension.The results show clearly that there can be no useful image transfer for in-bandexcitation. Out-of-band excitation allows image transfer. Provided the array islarger than the expected image by at least the size of the point spreadfunction, the effect of the array boundaries may be ignored and imaging isdetermined purely by the properties of the medium. However, there is a tradeoffbetween fidelity and throughput, and good imaging performance using thick slabsdepends on careful choice of the operating frequency. The approximate analyticmethod is verified by comparison of exact numerical solution.
