Broadband isotropic μ-near-zero metamaterials

Natural diamagnetism, while being a common phenomenon, is limited to permeability values close to unity. Artificial diamagnetics, to the contrary, can be engineered to provide much lower values and may even possess an effective permeability close to zero. In this letter, we provide an experimental confirmation of the possibility to obtain extremely low permeability values by manufacturing an isotropic metamaterial composed of conducting cubes. We show that the practical assembly is quite sensitive to fabrication tolerances and demonstrate that permeability of about μ=0.15 is realisable.This work was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation (Project 11.G34.31.0020), Dynasty Foundation (Russia), grant of the President of Russian Federation, and by the Australian Research Council (CUDOS Centre of Excellence CE110001018)

Anomalous polarization conversion in arrays of ultrathin ferromagnetic nanowires

We study optical properties of arrays of ultrathin nanowires by means of the Brillouin scattering of light on magnons. We employ the Stokes/anti-Stokes scattering asymmetry to probe the circular polarization of a local electric field induced inside nanowires by linearly polarized light waves. We observe the anomalous polarization conversion of the opposite sign than that in a bulk medium or thick nanowires with a great enhancement of the degree of circular polarization attributed to an unconventional refraction in the nanowire medium.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

EFFECT OF THE GAS MEDIA AND TEMPERATURE REGIMES OF ANNEALING ON THE PHASE COMPOSITION OF IRON BORATE FeBO3

ON COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF FORCE LOADING AND POWER LOSSES UNDER DEFORMATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES

The nonlinearity of the power resistance and the irreversibility of deformation of concrete under alternating loading will inevitably cause significant uncompensated hysteresis energy losses. The extent of these losses depends on the level of loading-unloading. In industrial or transport and communication purposes buildings, these losses account for a significant portion of the total technological energy consumption and cost of enterprise products. It actualizes the problem of quantifying such losses. The article based on the above characteristics of the force of resistance an analytical method for quantitative estimation of these losses and illustrative example that confirms the prospects of the practical use made of developments
