Περιγραφή Προγράμματος: | Metamaterials, namely artificial structures featuring negative refractive index at specific frequency bands, have been implemented and used in a plethora of applications, including implementation of switches, couplers, antennas, demonstration of superlenses, electromagnetic cloaking, and other numerous applications. This proposal
focuses on nonlinear metamaterials, whose properties depend on the electromagnetic field intensity, and are operating in the microwave regime.The principal aim of the project is the study of nonlinear metamaterials. The project is expected to result in the development of novel analytical techniques, numerical schemes for the study of the relevant nonlinear mathematical models, as well as, contribution to nonlinear metamaterial prototype structures. |
