Introduction
ESTIMATING PERMITTIVITY
• The Drude-Lorentz model (DLM) is a method for
estimate the permittivity e of a bulk material
• Atomic, simple and linearized model, but
quite effective and widespread
• Calculating e is a common problem in the
project of metamaterials
• Need to design the structure at a microscopic
level and in a simple way
CIRCUITS ARE A POWERFUL
TOOL FOR THIS PURPOSE
• Problem: the DLM is not a circuit model

The Drude-Lorentz model (I)
• Atoms (or molecules): positive nucleus
surrounded by a uniform “cloud” of electrons
• If the particle is invested by an EM wave, the
external Eext field will displace negative from
positive charge
• The induced moment dipole p is so:

Rayleigh hypothesis
• Usually the atom’s length l is much
smaller of the wavelength l
Rayleigh hypothesis
• So the system experiences almost
the same E field almost everywhere
If l << l , then the E field can be approximated as conservative
The E field admits a potential V, thus:
• Magnetic effects can be neglected, since:

The Drude-Lorentz model (II)
• In the DLM the quantistic forces are linearized
and reproduced by springs and dampers:

Request for a circuit model
• An equivalent circuit model would be useful:
 Easy method for designing
 Fully electrical (no springs and dampers)
 Suitable for structures of growing complexity

Rayleigh hypothesis
• In a normal circuit you cannot have locally a net charge…

10
Extending KCL
• Normally, none of circuit devices can
accumulate charge, as stated by
Kirchhoff Current Law at every node

two plates, each with net charge

Circuit dipole (I)
THE ANALOGY IS QUITE EASY…
• The Drude-Lorentz dipole oscillates and
an RCL circuit can oscillate too…
• So we construct a circuit dipole of fixed
length y , invested by the external E field

Orthogonal dipoles

k-th direction and has its own impedance Zk(s)
• Each impedance Zk(s) is virtually
connected to the ground

Limits of the models
• Conservative E field, so no magnetic effects:
As previously stated, our task is not to improve the DLM itself,
but to rephrase it in circuit form
Accordingly, those two models have similar limits:
• Linearized quantistic forces and non-interacting electrons
• Formally dipoles cannot radiate (circuit feature)

• Particles polarization is null at rest
(not true for molecules like H2O)
HOWEVER, DLM IS CURRENTLY WIDE-USED
FOR ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND EASINESS

Conclusions and future tasks
• We did it with simple RCL circuits , introducing the concept of half-capacitor
• The DLM is electro-mechanic, but it can be rephrased in circuit form
• The circuit model could be a powerful design
tool for metamaterial’s unit elements
MAIN FEATURES
• We showed that the circuit concept is suitable also
for multi-resonance and anisotropic materials
• Differently from other models, the circuit
structure is defined for every frequency

That’s all, in brief…

A bit of History…
• In 1905 paper “Le movement des electrons dans les
metaux”, H. A. Lorentz tried to describe the interaction
between matter and EM waves
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz
• Lorentz proposed that the electrons are bound to the
nucleus by a spring-like force obeying to the Hooke’s law
Both Drude and Lorentz models are formally not
quantistic,though quite prophetic and effective
• The Drude model can be reobtained by placing k = 0 (no spring)

Designing metamaterials
• In ElectroMagnetics a bulk material can
be characterized by its permittivity e and
permeability m
• Macroscopic level, distributed parameters
Examples of metamaterial’s structure by
John Pendry and David J. Smith
• Sometimes you need to design the
structure at a microscopic level and in
a simple way
THIS IS A COMMON
PROBLEM IN THE PROJECT
OF METAMATERIALS

S k
Negative refraction
Metamaterials
• composite materials engineered to exhibit
peculiar properties, e.g. negative refraction
• Sub-wavelength modular structure, but
macroscopically homogeneous
BUT WHAT ARE METAMATERIALS?
Back-propagation
• Popularly, materials with negative e and m
meem  0
0,0 cn
Many paradoxal properties…
• wave seems to propagate backward
• negative phase velocity: 0v
• wavevector k has the opposite sign of
Poynting vector S

Metamaterials: applications
• In 1999 an artificial material with m <0,
e0 in microwave band was realized at
Boeing Labs
• Increasing interest in these metamaterials
during the last decade
(hundreds articles per year!)
Relatively new research field,
with many applications ranging from:
Example of metamaterial’s structure by
David J. Smith
• Cloaking devices
• Selective frequency antennas
• Super-lens, with high resolution, able to
focus light through plane interface
(no need for curve slabs!)
lens slab with negative index

Circuit models
• Circuit models allow to “lump”
system’s properties in few variables
• Easy method for designing
• Already known and used in many
context: Power Systems, RF antennas,
Electronics…
• Suitable for structures of growing
complexity

2-D dielectrics and metals
35
• Ideal dielectric element, non dispersive and without
losses, is described like a pure capacitive lattice
• Insulator: just polarization current, which cannot
flow very far
• No resonance
• Ideal metal element, without magnetic induction and
losses, is described like an inductive lattice
• Electrons are bounded just at contours, so quantistic
forces are reproduced by half-capacitors on the border
• Resonances thanks to external coupling with vacuum
HOW TO MODEL 2-D OR 3-D BULK MATERIALS?
Linking them together, we get a
dielectric-metal interface for SPP

36
Circuit metals
• Real metals are quite well described by circuit
lattice analogous to Drude-Lorentz model
WHAT ABOUT MORE REAL METALS?
• No magnetic effects: induction caused just by
electron mass inertia
• E field always conservative, so no irradiation
LIMITS
• Basic inductor lattice, like ideal metals
• Plates on the border account for contour
bounded charge
• Resistors account for internal losses
• Shunt plates accounts for internal capacitive
effects
