Local negative magnetic permeability and possibility of observation of breather excitations in magnetic metamaterials
Abstract
It is shown that the long-wave dynamics and magnetic properties of one-dimensional systems constructed of the inductively and capacitively coupled split-ring resonators are described by the regularized nonlinear dispersive Klein-Gordon equations. It is found that in such systems a highfrequency magnetic field excites dynamic solitons on a pedestal-stable breathers, oscillating in anti-phase with respect to the background of uniform oscillations, which means the existence of regions with a negative magnetic permeability in the system. If supplemented by a medium with negative permittivity, such a system forms a left-handed metamaterial in which the regions with the breather excitations are transparent to electromagnetic radiation. This makes it possible to observe them experimentally.
