A negative-index metamaterial design based on metal-core, dielectric shell resonators

Basilio, L.I.; Warne, Larry K.; Langston, William L.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Sinclair, M.B.

In this paper a simple effective-media analysis (including higher-order multipoles) is used to design a single-resonator, negative-index design based on a metal-core, dielectric-shell (MCDS) unit cell. In addition to comparing the performance of the MCDS design to other core-shell negative-index designs, performance trade-offs resulting from the relative positioning of the electric and magnetic modal resonances in the MCDS design are also discussed. © 2011 IEEE.
