New self-magnetically insulated connection of multi-level accelerators to a common load

Digest of Technical Papers-IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference

VanDevender, J.P.; Langston, William L.; Pasik, Michael F.; Coats, Rebecca S.; Pointon, Timothy D.; Seidel, David B.; Jennings, C.A.; McKee, G.R.; Schneider, Larry X.

We have developed a new type of convolute called the Clam Shell MITL (CSMITL) to couple multi-level accelerators to a common load. The CSMITL has magnetic nulls only at large radius where the cathode electric field is kept below the threshold for emission, has only a simply connected magnetic topology to avoid plasma motion along magnetic field lines into highly stressed gaps, and has electron injectors that ensure efficient electron flow even in the limiting case of self-limited MITLs. We report the first experimental results on a CSMITL, which convolutes two disk feeds on the Saturn accelerator into a single disk feed. Experiments with a high impedance electron beam load operating at twice the self-limited impedance of the CSMITL confirm key design features and demonstrate robust operation. © 2011 IEEE.

Modeling Braided Shields via multipole representations for the braid charges and currents

Proceedings - 2011 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications, ICEAA'11

Johnson, William Arthur.; Langston, William L.; Basilio, Lorena I.; Warne, Larry K.

A first principles calculation for the transfer capacitance of a Beldon cable is carried out by the use of filamentary constant, dipole, quadrupole, and octopole unknown charges placed at the center of each braid wire. Results are compared with full electrostatic simulations and a phenomenological model. © 2011 IEEE.

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

IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, AP-S International Symposium (Digest)

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.

Modeling of general 1-D periodic leaky-wave antennas in layered media using EIGER™

Proceedings - 2010 12th International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications, ICEAA'10

Johnson, W.A.; Paulotto, S.; Jackson, D.R.; Wilton, D.R.; Langston, William L.; Basilio, Lorena I.; Baccarelli, P.; Valerio, G.; Celepcikay, F.T.

This paper presents a mixed-potential integral-equation formulation for analyzing 1-D periodic leaky-wave antennas in layered media. The structures are periodic in one dimension and finite in the other two dimensions. The unit cell consists of an arbitrary-shaped metallic/dielectric structure. The formulation has been implemented in the EIGER™ code in order to obtain the real and complex propagation wavenumbers of the bound and leaky modes of such structures. Validation results presented here include a 1-D periodic planar leaky-wave antenna and a fully 3-D waveguide test case. ©2010 IEEE.

An effective media toolset for use in metamaterial design

Warne, Larry K.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Langston, William L.; Sinclair, Michael B.

This paper introduces an effective-media toolset that can be used for the design of metamaterial structures based on metallic components such as split-ring resonators and dipoles, as well as dielectric spherical resonators. For demonstration purposes the toolset will be used to generate infrared metamaterial designs, and the predicted performances will be verified with full-wave numerical simulations.

Resonant coupling to a dipole absorber inside a metamaterial: Anticrossing of the negative index response

Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B

Smolev, Svyatoslav; Ku, Zahyun; Brueck, S.R.J.; Brener, Igal B.; Sinclair, Michael B.; Ten Eyck, Gregory A.; Langston, William L.; Basilio, Lorena I.

The authors experimentally demonstrate a resonant hybridization between the magnetic dipole structural resonance in the permeability of a fishnet metamaterial and an electric dipole material resonance in the permittivity of the dielectric spacer layer. The hybrid resonances in the permeability and the negative index response exhibit an anticrossing behavior. A simple analytic model and numerical simulations using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis are in excellent qualitative agreement with the experiment. © 2010 American Vacuum Society.
