Superconducting Metamaterials and their Applications
M. Rizwan, A. Usman, M. Zainab, A. Ayub, B. Tehreem
Superconductors have been in the field for more than a century now and superconducting metamaterials are a class of materials that have extremely low losses. Superconducting materials exhibit supreme properties such as currents that can last for twenty-six years and quantum phenomenon that makes it very suitable for making metamaterials. Superconductor composites are materials in which a material with a substantial permeability and negative effective permittivity material is combined with a superconductor which reduce losses in metamaterials at resonance frequency. There are many angles to explore and investigate in superconducting metamaterials. Novel applications of superconducting metamaterials are also briefly deliberated
