Due to its symmetry, the system can generate both monopolar and dipolar resonances, which are separately tunable in the frequency spectrum. To characterize the material, we developed an eigen-function-based exact homogenization scheme that directly utilizes the experimental displacement fields on the sample’s surfaces to extract the effective mass density and bulk modulus. It is found that double negativity is achieved in a finite frequency regime. Excellent agreement between experiment and theory is seen. Duration: 15 min. |
