| Popis: | Cloaking and scattering cancellation of electromagnetic waves have attracted much attention since they allow control of rf and light waves and are of scientific interest. The analytical results demonstrated in this paper reveal that plasmonic cloaking, which is one of the schemes for scattering cancellation, occurs in the vicinity of Tonks-Dattner resonances in the frequency domain, where resonances enhance wave scattering. This antiresonance-resonance pair for cloaking and scattering is cross-correlated by the symmetrical locations above and below the electron plasma frequency, respectively. However, the cloaking effect is almost independent of electron collisions with neutral particles, whereas scattering at resonance is fairly sensitive to them, leading to unclear resonance. An experimental verification of this analytical prediction is performed for the cloaking effect on working points passing through the cloaking condition and approaching resonance, which is dynamically controlled by changing the electron density. Numerical calculations based on a model configuration similar to the experimental setup confirm scattering cancellation and an increase in scattering as the points get close to the resonance condition. These results are direct evidence of scattering cancellation with a uniform epsilon-near-zero material and demonstrate the effectiveness of plasma as a cloaking material. |
