Beyond the static dichrotic display, the realization of dynamic dichroism desires active materials and tunable structures, and owns the great demand from smart display, anti-counterfeiting and environmental sensing. We hereby propose a metal-hydrogel-metal (MHM) nanocavity for dynamic dichrotic display. This structure includes thin silver layers to induce the partial transmission with the existing reflection, and a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel layer owning the swelling/deswelling deformability to humidity change. The following experimental measurements and theoretical analysis prove that the reflection and transmission modes exist at distinct wavelengths, and the swelling hydrogel layer by humidity change between 10 and 90% RH can dynamically modulate the dichrotic resonance with the wavelength shift over 100 nm. Such environmental-sensitive and real-time tunable dichroism with hydrogel-based structural color is then verified for multi-color printing, resolution test, and cycling test.","PeriodicalId":43689,"journal":{"name":"EPJ Applied Metamaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57823819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose to use morphing algorithms to deduce some approximate wave pictures of their interactions with fluid-solid structures of various shapes and different sizes deduced from FDTD computations of scattering by solids of three given shapes: triangular, circular and elliptic ones. The error in the L2 norm between the FDTD solution and approximate solution deduced via morphing from the source and destination images are typically less than 1% if control points are judiciously chosen. We thus propose to use a morphing algorithm to deduce approximate wave pictures: at intermediate time steps from the FDTD computation of wave pictures at a time step before and after this event, and at the same time step, but for an average frequency signal between FDTD computation of wave pictures with two different signal frequencies. We stress that our approach might greatly accelerate FDTD computations as discretizations in space and time are inherently linked via the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy stability condition. Our approach requires some human intervention since the accuracy of morphing highly depends upon control points, but compared to the direct computational method our approach is much faster and requires fewer resources. We also compared our approach to some neural style transfer (NST) algorithm, which is an image transformation method based on a neural network. Our approach outperforms NST in terms of the L2 norm, Mean Structural SIMilarity, expected signal to error ratio.","PeriodicalId":43689,"journal":{"name":"EPJ Applied Metamaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57823912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, one of the most commonly used nanoantennas is the nanoparticle-on-mirror geometry, which allowed for the room temperature strong coupling of a single molecule. Very few studies offer analysis of near-field mode decompositions, and they mainly focus on spherical and/or cylindrically-faceted nanoparticle-on-mirror geometries. Perfectly spherical nanoparticles are not easy to fabricate, with recent publications revealing that a rhombicuboctahedron is a commonly occurring nanoparticle shape – due to the crystalline nature of metallic nanoparticles. In this paper, we perform a quasi-normal mode analysis for the rhombicuboctahedron-on-mirror nanoantenna and map the field distributions of each mode. We examine how the geometry of the cavity defines the near-field distribution and energies of the modes, and we show that in some cases the mode degeneracies break. This has a significant impact on the radiative emission and far-field profile of each mode, which are measured experimentally. Understanding how realistic nanoantenna geometries behave in the near-field and far-field helps us design antennas with specific properties for controlling and sensing quantum emitters in plasmonic systems.","PeriodicalId":43689,"journal":{"name":"EPJ Applied Metamaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57823468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we analyze their high sensitivity to changes in resistance, capacitance, and inductance and show the high sensitivity of the resonance frequency to perturbations. We also investigate stability and instability conditions for these configurations; for example, the effect of losses in the gyrator-based circuit leads to instability, and it may break the symmetry in the PT-symmetry-based circuit, also resulting in instabilities. Instability in the PT-symmetry circuit is also generated by breaking PT-symmetry when one element (e.g., a capacitor) is perturbed due to sensing. We have turned this instability “inconvenience” to an advantage, and we investigate the effect of nonlinear gain in the PT-symmetry coupled-resonator circuit and how this leads to an oscillator with oscillation frequency very sensitive to perturbation. The circuits studied in this paper have the potential to lead the way for a more efficient generation of high-sensitivity sensors that can detect very small changes in chemical, biological, or physical quantities.","PeriodicalId":43689,"journal":{"name":"EPJ Applied Metamaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57823550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
