Negative magnetic permeability predicted russian scientist
Back in the 1960s, V G Veselago of the P N Lebedev Physics
Institute, then USSR, predicted theoretically that a material
with both a negative electric permittivity and a negative
magnetic permeability should exhibit unusual optical properties
such as an anomalous Doppler effect, a reverse Cerenkov
radiation, and an inverse Snell effect (inverse light refraction
at the boundary of a medium). While until now no materials have
been known to have a negative magnetic permeability, Pendry and
colleagues suggested some time ago that an assembly of microwires
with a negative electric permittivity at microwave frequencies
may realize this property when combined with an array of
microscopic metallic rings with a negative magnetic permeability
in the same frequency range. S Sheldon and D Smith of the
University of California have now realized this idea by
constructing a composite material made up of copper rings and
copper wires mounted on a platform. When such a system is placed
into an electromagnetic cavity, electric currents induced in the
conductors give rise to a negative magnetic permeability in the
microwave range. Intriguingly, as an electromagnetic wave travels
through such a material, the direction of its energy flow is
opposite to that of the phase velocity. S Sheldon and D Smith are
currently looking for other effects predicted by the Russian
physicist. The new materials should have telecommunications
applications - due, among other things, to their ability to focus
radiation under conditions where normal substances disperse it.
