Broadband Dipole Bonding with Epsilon-near-zero Material

ORAL

Abstract

Epsilon-near-zero dielectrics (ENZ) is known to be responsible for static dipole levitation. Force equilibrium, or dipole bonding appears when the wavelength is comparable to the separation distance. For oscillating dipoles, the bonding position would be dependent on the dispersive dielectric responses of the ENZ plane. We propose a ENZ designing scheme, allowing dipoles with broad frequency range to be bonded simultaneously at one specific position. In the meantime, the Kramer-Kronig relation of ENZ dielectrics is not violated. The dipole mass would linearly shift the bonding position and may bring viable applications in particle filtration.
