Achieving transparency with plasmonic and metamaterial coatings.
- A. Alú, N. Engheta
- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and…
- 14 February 2005
The possibility of using plasmonic and metamaterial covers to drastically reduce the total scattering cross section of spherical and cylindrical objects is discussed. While it is intuitively expected… Expand
Pairing an epsilon-negative slab with a mu-negative slab: resonance, tunneling and transparency
- A. Alú, N. Engheta
- Physics
- 14 October 2003
Here, we analyze the transverse-magnetic (TM) wave interaction with a pair of slabs, one being an epsilon-negative (ENG) layer in which the real part of permittivity is assumed to be negative while… Expand
Circuit elements at optical frequencies: nanoinductors, nanocapacitors, and nanoresistors.
- N. Engheta, A. Salandrino, A. Alú
- Materials Science, Physics
- Physical review letters
- 18 November 2004
We present the concept of circuit nanoelements in the optical domain using plasmonic and nonplasmonic nanoparticles. Three basic circuit elements, i.e., nanoinductors, nanocapacitors, and… Expand
Full control of nanoscale optical transmission with a composite metascreen.

- 11 January 2016
Nonreciprocal components are ubiquitous in electronic and optical systems. To date, the use of magneto-optical materials has been the prevailing method to achieve nonreciprocity. However,… Expand
Polarizabilities and effective parameters for collections of spherical nanoparticles formed by pairs of concentric double-negative, single-negative, and∕or double-positive metamaterial layers
- A. Alú, N. Engheta
- Materials Science, Physics
- 1 October 2004
Unusual scattering effects from tiny spherical particles may be obtained when concentric shells are designed by pairing together “complementary” double-negative, single-negative, and∕or standard… Expand

Communication systems require non-reciprocal electromagnetic propagation, which is difficult to realize in circuits. An alternative is demonstrated by modulating the phase of strongly coupled… Expand
Twisted optical metamaterials for planarized ultrathin broadband circular polarizers.
Optical metamaterials are usually based on planarized, complex-shaped, resonant nano-inclusions. Three-dimensional geometries may provide a wider set of functionalities, including broadband chirality… Expand
