![]() The larger scale allows for more control over the magnetic response, while each unit is smaller than the radiated electromagnetic wave. Also, as part of periodic composite structure these are designed to have a stronger magnetic coupling than is found in nature. The SRR is designed to mimic the magnetic response of atoms, only on a much larger scale. ![]() This is similar to how light actually interacts with everyday materials materials such as glass or lenses are made of atoms, an averaging or macroscopic effect is produced. However, the periodic construction of many SRR cells is such that the electromagnetic wave interacts as if these were homogeneous materials. Each SRR has an individual tailored response to the electromagnetic field. The split ring resonator and the metamaterial itself are composite materials. Where c is the thickness of the c-shaped sheet and σ \sigma is the resistance of unit length of the sheets measured around the circumference. In the simple microstructure design, it is shown that in an array of conducting cylinders, with an applied external H 0 H_ It proposed that the split ring resonator design, built out of nonmagnetic material, could enhance the magnetic activity unseen in natural materials. The split ring resonator was a microstructure design featured in the paper by Pendry et al in 1999 called, "Magnetism from Conductors and Enhanced Nonlinear Phenomena". SRRs have also been coupled to planar transmission lines, for the synthesis of metamaterials transmission line. When an array of electrically small SRRs is excited by means of a time varying magnetic field, the structure behaves as an effective medium with negative effective permeability in a narrow band above SRR resonance. These resonators have been used for the synthesis of left-handed and negative refractive index media, where the necessary value of the negative effective permeability is due to the presence of the SRRs. SRRs can produce an effect of being electrically smaller when responding to an oscillating electromagnetic field. Split ring resonators (SRRs) consist of a pair of concentric metallic rings, etched on a dielectric substrate, with slits etched on opposite sides. Notice the current, denoted by the small letter "i", is in the clockwise direction. This results in low radiative losses and very high quality factors. Hence the dimensions of the structure are small compared to the resonant wavelength. The small gaps between the rings produces large capacitance values which lowers the resonating frequency. A magnetic flux penetrating the metal rings will induce rotating currents in the rings, which produce their own flux to enhance or oppose the incident field (depending on the SRR resonant properties). The loops can be concentric or square, and gapped as needed. The loops are made of nonmagnetic metal like copper and have a small gap between them. Ī single cell SRR has a pair of enclosed loops with splits in them at opposite ends. For example, an effect such as negative permeability is produced with a periodic array of split ring resonators. These media create the necessary strong magnetic coupling to an applied electromagnetic field, not otherwise available in conventional materials. ![]() Its purpose is to produce the desired magnetic susceptibility (magnetic response) in various types of metamaterials up to 200 terahertz. Ī split-ring resonator ( SRR) is an artificially produced structure common to metamaterials. The magnetic response arises from the symmetry of the current loops. Electric field (top) and magnetic field (bottom) of an electric-SRR under resonant electrical excitation. Split-ring resonators are on the front and right surfaces of the square grid, and single vertical wires are on the back and left surfaces. A resonator An example split-ring resonator consisting of an inner square with a split on one side embedded in an outer square with a split on the other side.
