Shielding at a distance due to anomalous resonance in superlens with eccentric core

Abstract

A cylindrical plasmonic structure with a concentric core exhibits an anomalous localized resonance which results in cloaking effects. Here we show that, if the structure has an eccentric core, a new kind of shielding effect can happen. In contrast to the conventional shielding device, our proposed structure can block the effect of external electrical sources even on a region which is not enclosed by any conducting materials. In fact, the shielded region is located at a distance from the device. We analytically investigate this phenomenon by using the möbius transformation via which an eccentric annulus is transformed into a concentric one. We also present several numerical examples.
