Abstract

Metamaterial which usually possesses material constitutive parameters not obtained with natural material becomes a hot research topic recently. Its designabilty and flexible tunability of the electromagnetic (EM) properties can be utilized to manipulate EM wave propagation. In this paper, we propose a variety of functional materials and devices that could manipulate the EM waves through metamaterials, including device that enables asymmetric EM wave propagation, tunable EM wave absorber, EM wave polarization modulator, magnetic photonic crystal, magnetic left-handed materials as well as the terahertz metamaterials based on superconductor thin films. Due to their specific and designable characteristics, these devices could have novel functionality and superior performances, enhancing the ability of EM wave manipulation.
