We demonstrate that there is a strong diamagnetic response of metamaterials, consisting of open or closed split ring resonators (SRRs). Detailed numerical work shows that for densely packed SRRs the magnetic permeability, $mu(omega)$, does not approach unity, as expected for frequencies lower and higher than the resonance frequency, $omega_0$. Below $omega_0$, $mu(omega)$ gives values ranging from 0.9 to 0.6 depending of the width of the metallic ring, while above $omega_0$, $mu(omega)$ is close to 0.5. Closed rings have $muapprox 0.5$ over a wide frequency range independently of the width of the ring. A simple model that uses the inner and outer current loop of the SRRs can easily explain theoretically this strong diamagnetic response, which can be used in magnetic levitation.

In the search of material properties out-of-equilibrium, the non-equilibrium steady states induced by electric current are an appealing research direction where unconventional states may emerge. However, the unavoidable Joule heating caused by flowin g current calls for the development of new measurement protocols, with a particular attention to the physical properties of the background materials involved. Here, we demonstrate that localised heating can give rise to a large, spurious diamagnetic-like signal. This occurs due to the local reduction of the background magnetisation caused by the heated sample, provided that the background material has a Curie-like susceptibility. Our experimental results, along with numerical calculations, constitute an important building block for performing accurate magnetic measurements under the flow of electric current.
We present the first experimental investigation of nonlinear optical properties of graphene flakes. We find that at near infrared frequencies a graphene monolayer exhibits a remarkably high third-order optical nonlinearity which is practically indepe ndent of the wavelengths of incident light. The nonlinear optical response can be utilized for imaging purposes, with image contrasts of graphene which are orders of magnitude higher than those obtained using linear microscopy.
Architectural transformations play a key role in the evolution of complex systems, from design algorithms for metamaterials to flow and plasticity of disordered media. Here, we develop a general framework for the evolution of the linear mechanical re sponse of network structures under discrete architectural transformations via sequential removal and addition of elastic elements. We focus on a class of spatially complex metamaterials, consisting of triangular building blocks. Rotations of these building blocks, corresponding to removing and adding elastic elements, introduce (topological) architectural defects. We show that the metamaterials states of self stress play a crucial role, and that the mutually exclusive self stress states between two different network architectures span the difference in their mechanical response. For our class of metamaterials, we identify a localized representation of these states of self stress, which allows us to capture the evolving response. We use our insights to understand the unusual stress-steering behaviour of topological defects.
The ability to trap matter is of great importance in experimental physics since it allows isolation and measurement of intrinsic properties of the trapped matter. We present a study of a three dimensional (3D) trap for a diamagnetic rod in a pair of diametric cylindrical magnets. This system yields a fascinating 1D camelback potential along the longitudinal axis which is one of the elementary model potentials of interest in physics. This potential can be tailored by controlling the magnet length/radius aspect ratio. We developed theoretical models and verify them with experiments using graphite rods. We show that, in general, a camelback field or potential profile exists in between a pair of parallel linear dipole distribution. By exploiting this potential, we demonstrate a unique and simple technique to determine the magnetic susceptibility of the rod. This system could be further utilized as a platform for custom-designed 1D potential, a highly sensitive force-distance transducer or a trap for semiconductor nanowires.
The reason of the non-locality of constitutive (material) parameters extracted in a usual way from the reflection-transmission coefficients of composite slab at moderately low frequencies is explained. The physical meaning of these parameters is clar ified. Local constitutive parameters of metamaterial lattices are discussed and their existence at moderate frequencies is demonstrated. It is shown how to extract local material parameters from the dispersion characteristics of an infinite lattice and from reflection and transmission coefficients of metamaterial layers.
