We present frequency tunable metamaterial designs at terahertz (THz) frequencies using broadside coupled split-ring resonator (BC-SRR) arrays. Frequency tuning, arising from changes in near-field coupling, is obtained by in-plane displacement of the two SRR layers. For electrical excitation, the resonance frequency continuously redshifts as a function of displacement. The maximum frequency shift occurs for vertical displacement of half a unit cell, resulting in a shift of 663 GHz (51% of f(0)). We discuss the difference in the BC-SRR response for electrical excitation in comparison to magnetic excitation in terms of hybridization arising from inductive and capacitive coupling.

Molecular-dynamics simulations of surface and bulk properties of Zn, Cd, and ZnCd systems
Amirouche, L; Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 2004-02-01)
Surface and bulk properties of Zn, Cd, and ZnCd systems have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics simulations using a recently developed empirical many-body potential energy function for these systems, which comprices two- and three-body atomic interactions. Surface reconstruction and multilayer relaxation on clean surfaces, adatom on surface, substitutional atom on surface and bulk materials, and vacancy on surface and bulk materials have been studied extensively.

Phonon dispersions and elastic constants of disordered Pd-Ni alloys
Kart, SO; Tomak, Mehmet; Cagin, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-31)
Phonon frequencies of Pd-Ni alloys are calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Lattice dynamical properties computed from Sutton-Chen (SC) and quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potentials as a function of temperature are compared with each other. We present all interatomic force constants up to the 8th nearest-neighbor shell obtained by using the calculated potential. Elastic constants evaluated by two methods are consistent with each other. The transferability of the potential is also tested. The result...
Frequency tunable metamaterial designs using near field coupled SRR structures in the terahertz region
Ekmeki, Evren; Strikwerda, Andrew C.; Fan, Kebin; Keiser, George; Zhang, Xin; Sayan, Gönül; Averitt, Richard D. (2011-12-01)
We present frequency tunable metamaterials at terahertz frequencies using broadside-coupled split ring resonators (BC-SRRs). Frequency tuning, arising from changes in near field coupling, is obtained by in-plane displacement between the SRR layers. For electrical excitation, the resonance frequency continuously redshifts as a function of displacement. A maximum frequency shift occurs for displacement of half a unit cell resulting in a shift of 663 GHz (51% of f 0). We discuss the difference in the BC-SRR re...
Numerical Constructions of Testing Functions for Improving the Accuracy of MFIE and CFIE in Multi-Frequency Applications
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Altinoklu, Askin; Ergül, Özgür Salih (EMW Publishing, 2016-01-01)
We present a new approach based on numerical constructions of testing functions for improving the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) with low-order discretizations. Considering numerical solutions, testing functions are designed by enforcing the compatibility of the MFIE systems with the accurate coefficients obtained by solving the electric-field integral equation (EFIE). We demonstrate the accuracy improvements on scattering problems, wh...
QWIP focal plane arrays on InP substrates for single and dual band thermal imagers
Eker, S. U.; Arslan, Y.; Kaldirim, M.; Beşikci, Cengiz (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-01)
Alternative material systems on InP substrate provide certain advantages for mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR), long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) and dual band MWIR/LWIR quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane arrays (FPAs). While InP/InGaAs and InP/InGaAsP LWIR QWIPs provide much higher responsivity, when compared to the AlGaAs/CaAs QWIPs, AllnAs/InGaAs system facilitates completely lattice matched single band MWIR and dual band MWIR/LWIR FPAs.
