Scattering properties of light in metamaterials are similar to those in open quantum systems. Here we propose an ultrathin tailored metamaterial designed to show that one-way zero reflection yielding to topologically stable phase dislocation is responsible for the exceptional point, one of the most important degeneracies in the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. In order to bridge the exotic macroscopic optical phenomenon occurring in metamaterials, a phenomenological model under microscopic view is developed and good agreement with the full-blown numerical simulation is found. Our investigation uncovers the capabilities of metamaterials to exhibit extreme optical properties and to provide us with many potential applications such as the suppression of undesired scattering signals in the spectral band ranging from microwaves to visible light.

Network science research aims to understand the underlying properties of complex networks. Large-scale modeling and simulation is the core of network science research. Existing systems take a long time to run large network science experiments with high performance computing resources. Scientific data management systems currently lack the performance efficiency needed to support this type of computation and data-intensive research. Memoization provides the ability to index, archive, and reuse frequently requested and expensive to re-compute datasets. In this paper, a domain independent memoization service to increase the computational execution process performance within cyberinfrastructure-based systems is described. The service is formulated as an extensible memoization framework for the computational and simulation network science domains that is built on top of well-defined metadata objects. We present extensible concepts, discuss the proposed algorithm and framework architecture, and examine the flexible nature of the framework. The framework was utilized as a part of the CINET cyberinfrastructure-based digital library (DL). Our experimental results indicate an increase in the efficiency of the system and recommendation of the service's inclusion in scientific DLs.

In this paper, we demonstrate six types of metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) by measuring their absorptivities in an X-band (8 12 GHz) rectangular waveguide. Some of the MMAs have been demonstrated previously by using the free space measurement method, and the others are proposed firstly in this paper. The measured results show that all of the six MMAs exhibit high absorptivities above 98%, which have similar absorbing characteristics to those measured in the free space. The numerically obtained surface current densities for each MMA show that the absorbing mechanism is the same as that under the free space conditions. Such a demonstration method is superior to the conventional free space measurement method due to the small-scale test samples required, the simple measure device, and its low cost. Most importantly, the proposed method opens a way to enable MMAs to be used in microwave applications such as matched terminations.

Scattering of fully coherent light from nano objects is a very matured field with plethora of applications. However, due to various fundamental and operational reasons, fluctuations in various characteristic features of interacting light fields cannot be fully suppressed. Such light fields with random fluctuating features are known as partially coherent light. When partially coherent light interact with nano-objects (i.e. solids or voids), new characteristics emerge (e.g. coherence vortex, fully-incoherent point-pairs) that are absent in fully coherent scattered fields. In this paper, we review the fundamental metrics for characterising partially coherent light and how such metrics can be used to reveal some of the hidden features of partially coherent light interacting with nano-objects.

Fluorescence has become a widely used technique for applications in noninvasive diagnostic tissue spectroscopy. The standard model used for characterizing fluorescence photon transport in biological tissue is based on the diffusion approximation. On the premise that the total energy of excitation and fluorescent photon flows must be conserved, we derive the widely used diffusion equations in fluorescence spectroscopy and show that there must be an additional term to account for the transport of fluorescent photons. The significance of this additional term in modeling fluorescence spectroscopy in biological tissue is assessed.

The research of metamaterial is one of most important global activity that promises to change the lives in many different ways. Flexibly controlling the properties of metamaterials by tunable designs makes metamaterials more colorful and thus enables a family of new electromagnetic devices. In this paper, the use of ferrites on design of tunable metamaterials has been reviewed. Owing to the novel properties of ferrites, including broadband negative permeability and tunability of permeability, a great many researchers have focused on investigating ferrites based metamaterials and the relevant applications. This paper reviews the design, theoretical analysis, numerical and experimental demonstrations, and the potential applications of the ferrite based metamaterials.

This paper presents an alternative approach, based on the transmission line theory, for determination of the attenuation constant (α), phase constant (β), characteristic impedance (Zo), refractive index (n), effective permittivity (ε) and effective permeability (μ) for active transmission line (TL) metamaterial. When active elements are introduced into the lossy TL meta-material, the gain acquired from the active elements should be evaluated quantitatively against the attenuation due to the loss in order to avoid ambiguities in determining the signs of the effective constitutive parameters. In stead of directly determining the characteristic impedance from S-parameters, we introduce the reflection coefficient as an intermediate quantity to assist solving the characteristic impedance. This paper shows demonstration of this method with an example of active TL metamaterial.

We present a tunable triple-band μ-negative metamaterial composed of loop resonator and ferrite. The tunable triple-band-stop transmission spectrum of such metamaterial is investigated numerically by full wave simulations. Moreover, the corresponding effective parameters are retrieved to illustrate the tunable μ-negative characteristic.
