电流变液调控的连通树枝状结构左手材料

设计了结构单元连通的单一树枝状结构材料模型,通过把连通的树枝状结构材料置于高性能电流变液中,研究了电极间距、内嵌介质的介电常数以及电场强度等对浸入电流变液中树枝状结构左手材料透射峰的影响.实验结果表明,电极间距对样品的左手峰有重要的影响;在容器盒中充满电流变液之后样品的左手峰向低频方向移动;通过改变外加电场强度可以调节左手透射峰,最大调节范围可达140 MHz. 关键词： 连通树枝结构 电流变液 介电常数 左手峰     

Tunable Effect of Double-Connective Dendritic Left-Handed Metamaterials Based on Electrorheological Fluids

We present double-connective dendritic unit pairs which exhibit the left-handed property for electromagnetic wave normal incidence. Based on the tunable characteristics of electrorheological fluids （ERF） as the electric field, we experimentally study the influence of the distance of electrodes, the number of stacked layers, and the intensity of the external electric field upon the ERF to the left-handed transmission peak of the double-connective dendritic structure. The results show that the transmission could be enhanced with the increase of distance or the number of layers. Furthermore, by changing the intensity of the electric fields, the left-handed transmission peak can be modulated actively, and the maximum shift is up to 160 MHz.
