| Abstract: | We theoretically investigate the intra-band transitions in M?bius molecules. Due to the weak magnetic response, the relative permittivity is significantly modified by the presence of the medium while the relative permeability is not. We show that there is hyperbolic dispersion relation induced by the intra-band transitions because one of the eigen-values of permittivity possesses a different sign from the other two, while all three eigen-values of permeability are positive. We further demonstrate that the bandwidth of negative refraction is 0.165 eV for the H-polarized incident light, which is broader than the ones for inter-band transitions by 3 orders of magnitude. Moreover, the frequency domain has been shifted from ultra-violet to visible domain.Although there is negative refraction for the E-polarized incident light, the bandwidth is much narrower and depends on the incident angle. |
