Nanosphere dispersed liquid crystals for tunable negative–zero–positive index of refraction in the optical and terahertz regimes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An analysis of aligned nematic liquid crystal cells containing core-shell nanospheres shows that it is possible to devise a new type of metamaterial whose index of refraction is tunable from negative, through zero, to positive values. The design parameters for the constituents can be scaled for application in the optical as well as very long wavelength (e.g., terahertz and microwave) regions.
