Acoustic negative-index metamaterials show promise in achieving superlensing for diagnostic medical imaging. In spite of the recent progress made in this field, most metamaterials suffer from deficiencies such as low spatial symmetry, sophisticated labyrinth topologies and narrow-band features, which make them difficult to be utilized for symmetric subwavelength imaging applications. Here, we propose a category of robust multi-cavity metamaterials and reveal their common double-negative mechanism enabled by multi-polar (dipole, quadrupole and octupole) resonances in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) scenarios. In particular, we discover explicit relationships governing the double-negative frequency bounds from equivalent circuit analogy. Moreover, broadband single-source and double-source subwavelength imaging is realized and verified by 2D and 3D superlens. More importantly, the analogical 3D superlens can ensure the subwavelength imaging in all directions. The proposed multi-polar resonance-enabled robust metamaterials and design methodology open horizons for easier manipulation of subwavelength waves and realization of practical 3D metamaterial devices.

Double-negative acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) offer the promising ability of superlensing for applications in ultrasonography, biomedical sensing and nondestructive evaluation. Here, under the simultaneous increasing or non-increasing mechanisms, we
develop a unified topology optimization framework considering the different microstructure symmetries, minimal structural feature sizes and dispersion extents of effective parameters. Then we apply the optimization framework to furnish the heuristic resonance-cavity-based and space-coiling metamaterials with broadband double negativity. Meanwhile, we demonstrate the essences of double negativity derived from the novel artificial multipolar LC and Mie resonances which can be induced by controlling mechanisms in optimization. Furthermore, abundant numerical simulations validate the double negativity, negative refraction, enhancements of evanescent waves and subwavelengh imaging for the optimized AMMs. Finally, we experimentally show the desired broadband subwavelengh imaging using the 3D-printed optimized space-coiling metamaterial. The present methodology and broadband metamaterials provide the ideal strategy of constructing AMMs for subwavelengh imaging technology.
Slow sound is a frequently exploited phenomenon that metamaterials can induce in order to permit wave energy compression, redirection, imaging, sound absorption and other special functionalities. Generally however such slow sound structures have a po
or impedance match to air, particularly at low frequencies, and consequently exhibit strong transmission only in narrow frequency ranges. This therefore strongly restricts their application in wave manipulation devices. In this work we design a slow sound medium that halves the effective speed of sound in air over a wide range of low frequencies, whilst simultaneously maintaining a near impedance match to air. This is achieved with a rectangular array of cylinders of elliptical cross section, a microstructure that is motivated by combining transformation acoustics with homogenization. Microstructural parameters are optimised in order to provide the required anisotropic material properties as well as near impedance matching. We then employ this microstructure in order to halve the size of a quarter-wavelength resonator (QWR), or equivalently to halve the resonant frequency of a QWR of a given size. This provides significant space savings in the context of low-frequency tonal noise attenuation in confined environments where the absorbing material is adjacent to the region in which sound propagates, such as in a duct. We term the elliptical microstructure `universal since it may be employed in a number of diverse applications.
Mechanical metamaterials are architected manmade materials that allow for unique behaviors not observed in nature, making them promising candidates for a wide range of applications. Existing metamaterials lack tunability as their properties can only
be changed to a limited extent after the fabrication. In this paper, we present a new magneto-mechanical metamaterial that allows great tunability through a novel concept of deformation mode branching. The architecture of this new metamaterial employs an asymmetric joint design using hard-magnetic soft active materials that permits two distinct actuation modes (bending and folding) under opposite-direction magnetic fields. The subsequent application of mechanical forces leads to the deformation mode branching where the metamaterial architecture transforms into two distinctly different shapes, which exhibit very different deformations and enable great tunability in properties such as mechanical stiffness and acoustic bandgaps. Furthermore, this metamaterial design can be incorporated with magnetic shape memory polymers with global stiffness tunability, which further enables the global shift of the acoustic behaviors. The combination of magnetic and mechanical actuations, as well as shape memory effects, imbue unmatched tunable properties to a new paradigm of metamaterials.
Using both multiple scattering theory and effective medium theory, we find that an acoustic metamaterial consisting of an array of spinning cylinders can possess a host of unusual properties including folded bulk and interface-state bands in the subw
avelength regime. The folding of the bands has its origin in the rotation-induced antiresonance of the effective compressibility with its frequency at the angular velocity of the spinning cylinders, as well as in the rotational Doppler effect which breaks the chiral symmetry of the effective mass densities. Both bulk and interface-state bands exhibit remarkable variations as the filling fraction of the spinning cylinders is increased. In particular, a zero-frequency gap appears when exceeds a critical value. The uni-directional interface states bear interesting unconventional characteristics and their robust one-way transport properties are demonstrated numerically.
Metamaterials have recently established a new paradigm for enhanced light absorption in state-of-the-art photodetectors. Here, we demonstrate broadband, highly efficient, polarization-insensitive, and gate-tunable photodetection at room temperature i
n a novel metadevice based on gold/graphene Sierpinski carpet plasmonic fractals. We observed an unprecedented internal quantum efficiency up to 100% from the near-infrared to the visible range with an upper bound of optical detectivity of $10^{11}$ Jones and a gain up to $10^{6}$, which is a fingerprint of multiple hot carriers photogenerated in graphene. Also, we show a 100-fold enhanced photodetection due to highly focused (up to a record factor of $|E/E_{0}|approx20$ for graphene) electromagnetic fields induced by electrically tunable multimodal plasmons, spatially localized in self-similar fashion on the metasurface. Our findings give direct insight into the physical processes governing graphene plasmonic fractal metamaterials. The proposed structure represents a promising route for the realization of a broadband, compact, and active platform for future optoelectronic devices including multiband bio/chemical and light sensors.
