Plasmon hybridization in stacked cut-wire metamaterials
Stacked metamaterials consisting of gold cut-wires and a gold mirror are fabricated. The optical properties are determined. Plasmon hybridization allows for the intuitive attribution of the resonances in the optical spectra (see figure). Antisymmetric modes constitute magnetic resonances, which are suited for displaying negative permeability.
