Research Progress in Reversed Cherenkov Radiation in Double-Negative Metamaterials
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 90, 75-87, 2009
Abstract
We review the research progress in reversed Cherenkov radiation in double- negative metamaterials (DNMs) starting from the first experimental verification of the DNMs reported in 2001, including theories, numerical computation and simulation and experiments. We also discuss the potential applications to particle detectors and highpower microwave or millimeter-wave devices, including the oscillators and amplifiers, and the formidable challenges needed to be resolved before the benefits of using such artificial materials can be harvested.
