Abstract:
Metamaterial is a synthetic composite material with a structure such that it exhibits properties not usually found in natural materials. Fibre drawing method has been used in producing Poly - methyl methacrylate (PMMA) - indium wires metamaterials. PMMA and indium are having relatively the same glass transition temperature making them suitable for co - drawing. The fiber filaments must be drawn to smaller diameters to shift the metamaterials response to higher frequency. At these dimensions the metal filaments inside the fiber become unstable and break - up at random intervals. This instability is due to a phenomenon known as the Plateau - Rayleigh InstabilityWell known Tomotika model for the growth in the varicosity in the surface of fluid extended inside another fluid was modified to describe the fluctuations (instability) of inner core diameter for metamaterials drawing inside radiative furnace. Modified Tomotika model was used to investigate the instability growth of the indium wire diameter produced by co - drawing of indium metal embedded in a PMMA polymer.The critical parameter for the wire breaks is the wavelength of perturbations. A MATLAB model was used to describe a small drawing ratio (neglecting the wavelength of fluctuations effect). The experimental and modeling results are almost match when a very small temperature variation occurred. So the observed fluctuations in diameter can be reconciled with the Plateau - Rayleigh instability.For larger fluctuations (large drawing ratio) the wavelength of fluctuations was analyzed and sequential breakup on different length scales was observed. We infer limits to wire dimensions that can beachieved using the chosen material system and identify a path for extending drawing methods to fabricate smaller wires.Finally, simulation for deep subwavelength wave propagation inside wire metamaterials depending on the unit cell manipulation was performed. CST microwave studio software had been used to simulate wave propagation inside linear and 90o corner waveguide as well as equal arms beam splitter (50/50). It’s applicable to waveguiding 40cm wavelength in about 2.4 cm waveguide.
