Interlaced wire medium with quasicrystal lattice

We propose a design of an interlaced wire medium with a quasicrystalline lattice based on fivefold rotation symmetry Penrose tiling. The transport properties of this structure are studied. We distinguish two transport regimes, namely, a propagation regime related to the low-frequency interval and localization regime in the high-frequency interval. While the former is observed in structures both with and without the translation symmetry property, the latter is exclusive for aperiodic structures only. We show that the localization regime is promising for many applications, including the engineering of effective multichannel devices for telecommunication and imaging systems.

Automated summary

In this study, a design of an interlaced wire medium with a quasicrystalline lattice based on fivefold rotation symmetry Penrose tiling is proposed. The transport properties of this structure are investigated, demonstrating two transport regimes: a propagation regime related to low frequencies, and a localization regime exclusive for aperiodic structures. The localization regime shows promise for applications such as engineering effective multichannel devices for telecommunication and imaging systems.
