Title: Tunable VO2/Au hyperbolic metamaterial

Abstract

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is known to have a semiconductor-to-metal phase transition at ∼68 °C. Therefore, it can be used as a tunable component of an active metamaterial. The lamellar metamaterial studied in this work is composed of subwavelength VO2 and Au layers and is designed to undergo a temperature controlled transition from the optical hyperbolic phase to the metallic phase. VO2 films and VO2/Au lamellar metamaterial stacks have been fabricated and studied in electrical conductivity and optical (transmission and reflection) experiments. The observed temperature-dependent changes in the reflection and transmission spectra of the metamaterials and VO2 thin films are in a good qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. The demonstrated optical hyperbolic-to-metallic phase transition is a unique physical phenomenon with the potential to enable advanced control of light-matter interactions.

Tunable VO{sub 2}/Au hyperbolic metamaterial

Tunable hyperbolic metamaterials utilizing phase change heterostructures

Journal Article Krishnamoorthy, Harish N. S. ; Menon, Vinod M., E-mail: vmenon@qc.cuny.edu ; Department of Physics, Graduate Center of the City University of New York, New York, New York 10016 ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We present a metal-free tunable anisotropic metamaterial where the iso-frequency surface is tuned from elliptical to hyperbolic dispersion by exploiting the metal-insulator phase transition in the correlated material vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}). Using VO{sub 2}-TiO{sub 2} heterostructures, we demonstrate the transition in the effective dielectric constant parallel to the layers to undergo a sign change from positive to negative as the VO{sub 2} undergoes the phase transition. The possibility to tune the iso-frequency surface in real time using external perturbations such as temperature, voltage, or optical pulses creates new avenues for controlling light-matter interaction.

Morphology Control of Self-Assembled Three-Phase Au-BaTiO₃–ZnO Hybrid Metamaterial for Tunable Optical Properties

Journal Article Misra, Shikhar ; Zhang, Di ; Qi, Zhimin ; ... - Crystal Growth and Design

Microstructural control in metal-dielectric hybrid metamaterials presents enormous opportunities in tailoring the physical properties including the magnetic and optical properties. In this paper, we demonstrate a strong tunability achieved in the microstructure of self-assembled ordered three-phase Au-BaTiO₃–ZnO hybrid metamaterial along with its optical properties, grown by a pulsed laser deposition method. Varying the growth temperature, deposition frequency, and template thickness evolves the microstructure by tuning the Au and ZnO pillar geometry as well as the shape and size of the Au nanoparticles capping the ZnO nanowires. The three-phase hybrid metamaterials exhibit unique optical properties, including enhanced nonlinear optical properties, hyperbolicmore »« less

Tunable, Homoepitaxial Hyperbolic Metamaterials Enabled by High Mobility CdO

Journal Article Cleri, Angela J. ; Nolen, J. Ryan ; Wirth, Konstantin G. ; ... - Advanced Optical Materials

We report propagating light exhibits hyperbolicity in strongly anisotropic materials where the principal components of the dielectric tensor are opposite in sign. While hyperbolicity occurs naturally in anisotropic polar dielectrics, wherein optical phonons along orthogonal crystal axes are nondegenerate, such optical anisotropy can also be engineered in hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs): thin film superlattices of alternating dielectric and metallic layers. Contrasted with the severely limited tunability of natural hyperbolic materials, the hyperbolic behavior of HMMs can be tailored significantly both through superlattice design and material selection. However, so far HMMs have suffered from high optical losses, hindering their performance. In thismore »« less

Self-Assembled Epitaxial Au–Oxide Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites for Nanoscale Metamaterials

Journal Article Li, Leigang ; Sun, Liuyang ; Gomez-Diaz, Juan Sebastian ; ... - Nano Letters

Metamaterials made of nanoscale inclusions or artificial unit cells exhibit exotic optical properties that do not exist in natural materials. Promising applications, such as super-resolution imaging, cloaking, hyperbolic propagation, and ultrafast phase velocities have been demonstrated based on mostly micrometer-scale metamaterials and few nanoscale metamaterials. To date, most metamaterials are created using costly and tedious fabrication techniques with limited paths toward reliable large-scale fabrication. In this work, we demonstrate the one-step direct growth of self-assembled epitaxial metal–oxide nanocomposites as a drastically different approach to fabricating large-area nanostructured metamaterials. Using pulsed laser deposition, we fabricated nanocomposite films with vertically aligned goldmore »« less
