Giant Unruh effect in hyperbolic metamaterial waveguides
I. I. Smolyaninov
The Unruh effect is the prediction that an accelerating object perceives its surroundings as a bath of thermal radiation even if it accelerates in vacuum. The Unruh effect is belie…
Surface Wave-Based Underwater Radio Communication
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Quirino Balzano, Christopher C. Davis +1
An underwater portable radio antenna operating in the 50 MHz band and efficient for launching surface electromagnetic waves at the seawater/air interface is presented. The antenna…
Observation of plasmon-phonons in a metamaterial superconductor using inelastic neutron scattering
Vera N. Smolyaninova, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Nicholas P. Butch +4
Metamaterial approach is capable of drastically increasing the critical temperature, Tc, of composite metal-dielectric superconductors. Tripling of Tc was observed in bulk Al-Al2O3…
Nonlinear optics of photonic hyper-crystals: optical limiting and hyper-computing
Igor I. Smolyaninov
Photonic hyper-crystals combine the most interesting features of hyperbolic metamaterials and photonic crystals. Since the dispersion law of extraordinary photons in hyperbolic met…
Metamaterial Superconductors
Igor I. Smolyaninov, Vera N. Smolyaninova
Searching for natural materials exhibiting larger electron-electron interactions constitutes a traditional approach to high temperature superconductivity research. Very recently we…
