Design and model of wideband absorber made of ultrathin metamaterial structures

A planar microwave ultrathin broadband absorber is proposed. It is composed of metallic patterns arranged on a dielectric material which is backed by a copper plate. The patterns of different dimensions allow to judiciously design absorption peaks at specific frequencies of interest. These peaks are due to the mode resonances of the cavities formed by the metallic patches, the dielectric substrate and the copper plate. In order to widen the absorption bandwidth, patterns of different dimensions are used, together with the different modes of these cavities. Numerical and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed method at microwave frequencies. It is also shown that the use of a composite air dielectric substrate supporting the metallic patterns helps to increase the absorption level.     

Total conversion of the polarization of electromagnetic waves during excitation of cyclotron polaritons in a two-dimensional electron system

The reflection of an electromagnetic wave from a two-dimensional (2D) electron system in a magnetic field is studied. It is predicted that a p (s) polarized incident wave will be totally converted into a reflected wave with the orthogonal polarization when cyclotron polaritons are excited in the 2D system. For a high electron density in the 2D system, the effect remains very substantial in magnitude even in the presence of electron scattering. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Preparation and characterization of MgB2 superconductor

The MgB₂ superconductor, synthesized using solid-state and liquid-phase sintering methods, have been characterized for various properties. The upper critical field, irreversibility line and critical current density have been determined using magnetization data. The current-voltage characteristics recorded under an applied magnetic field revealed the existence of vortex glass transition. The surface analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that MgB₂ is sensitive to atmospheric degradation.     

增加光子奇偶q相干态的高阶压缩效应

通过数值计算研究了增加光子奇q相干态a_q^+m|α>_q^o和增加光子偶q相干态a_q^+m|α>_q^e的高阶压缩效应.结果表明:当q较小时,态a_q^+m|α>_q^o和a_q^+m|α>_q^e都能呈现出强烈的奇次方阶压缩效应,但无偶次方阶压缩效应,而且奇次方阶压缩随m的增大而增强.当m=0时a_q^+m|α>_q^o和a_q^+m|α>_q^e为光场振幅偶次幂的最小测不准态,但当m≠0时它们不是光场振幅偶次幂的最小测不准态.
