Ground state of alkaline-earth fermionic atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices

The properties of the wave transmission in the lossy single-negative (SNG) metamaterials are experimentally investigated. The model structure of lossy epsilon-negative (ENG) monolayer and SNG bilayer consisting of a lossy ENG material and a mu-negative (MNG) are considered in this work. Simulation and experimental results show that the transmittance of the lossy SNG materials can be enhanced by two approaches, increasing dissipation coefficient and increasing the thickness of the lossy SNG. The lossy ENG material is physically fabricated by using composite right- and left-handed transmission lines grafted with radiation unit cell. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the previous theoretical analysis.
