Cross-Junction Based Metasurfaces: A Roadmap To Fano Resonances, Mirna Soliman

Theses and Dissertations

The first part of the thesis presents a summary of the classification of materials, followed by the development of metamaterials and their salient role. Then, a study of metamaterials and the evolution of these 3D structures to 2D, known as metasurfaces, have been discussed. Moreover, the physics and practical interest behind Fano resonance have been discussed. Furthermore, the physical fundamentals guiding the performance of both the metamaterials and metasurfaces, including the temporal coupled-mode theory and the generalized laws of reflection and refraction, have been intensely investigated, along with some of the outstanding properties of the metamaterials. Then, a comparison between …
