Deep-subwavelength magnetic-coupling-dominant interaction among magnetic localized surface plasmons
Magnetic coupling is generally much weaker than electric Coulomb interaction.

Magnetic coupling is generally much weaker than electric Coulomb interaction. This also applies to the well-known magnetic “meta-atoms,” or split-ring resonators (SRRs) as originally proposed by Pendry et al. [IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech. 47, 2075 (1999)], in which the associated electric dipole moments usually dictate their interaction. As a result, stereometamaterials, a stack of identical SRRs, were found with electric coupling so strong that the dispersion from merely magnetic coupling was overturned. Recently, other workers have proposed a new concept of magnetic localized surface plasmons, supported on metallic spiral structures (MSSs) at a deep-subwavelength scale. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that a stack of these magnetic “meta-atoms” can have dominant magnetic coupling in both of its two configurations. This allows magnetic-coupling-dominant energy transport along a one-dimensional stack of MSSs, as demonstrated with near-field transmission measurement. Our work not only applies this type of magnetic “meta-atom” into metamaterial construction, but also provides possibilities of magnetic metamaterial design in which the electric interaction no longer takes precedence. |
