Theoretical Study of fractal shape material of negative refractive index

Abstract

Advanced materials are artificial structure materials that exhibit properties not found in nature. Material that has a negative refractive index (left-handed materials) is found to get a lot of interest in the literatures. Controlling the geometry of classical material may lead to have a negative refractive index in a certain frequency range. In this paper, we utilized from fractal geometry in our design. A Sierpinski Carpet fractal model is proposed. Calculations show that this model has a negative refractive index in the frequency range 7.5 GHz – 16.5 GHz. Wide band behavior of this model refers to its fractal shape.
