Negative Refractive Index Liquid Crystal at Mid-Infrared Wavelength
The negative refractive index has been demonstrated theoretically in nematic liquid crystal consisting of randomly dispersive silicon carbide (SiC) core-shell microspheres in 13~13.2 μm mid-infrared wavelength range. Due to large permittivity of SiC induced by phonon polaritonic resonance
the collections of SiC microspheres produce negative permeability near 13.1 μm. By adjusting reasonable shell parameters
negative index liquid crystal is formed. Electromagnetic simulations show the mechanism for the negative permittivity and negative permeability.
