摘要
A process is demonstrated for tuning the magnetic resonance frequency of a fixed split-ring resonator array, by way of adding material near the split-ring elements. Applying drops of a silicon-nanospheres/ethanol solution to the surface of the sample decreases the magnetic resonance frequency of the split-ring array in incremental steps of 0.03 THz. This fine tuning is done post fabrication and is demonstrated to be reversible. The exhibited sensitivity of the split-ring resonance frequency to the presence of silicon nanospheres also suggests further application possibilities as a sensor device.
