    Dynamics of nanomechanical metamaterials: Pico-vibrometry with light and electron beams

    No full text
    We report on the detection and quantitative mapping of picometre (sub-atomic) amplitude, thermal (phonon-induced) and driven movements in photonic nanostructures, using light and electron beams. These techniques enable measurements of the dynamic mechanical properties that underpin the functionality of a growing range of micro/nano-opto-mechanical (meta)materials, devices, sensors and systems, and present new opportunities in the exploration of fundamental nonequilibrium (opto)mechanics.<br/

    Experimental observations of thermal fluctuations of metamaterial optical properties

    We demonstrate that fluctuations in the optical properties of nanomechanical photonic metamaterials can reach 1% at room temperature. Such fluctuations arise from ‘Brownian’ motion and peak at the frequencies of the nanostructures’ natural mechanical modes

    Mechanisms of spontaneous synchronization in photonic metamaterial continuous time crystals

    We have demonstrated that a classical metamaterial nanostructure, a two-dimensional array of plasmonic metamolecules supported on flexible nanowires, can be driven to a state possessing all the key features of a continuous time crystal - an eagerly-sought state of matter with properties periodic in time, rather than in space.The phenomenon points to the possibility of a new mechanism for the synchronization of noise-driven, linear oscillators based upon non-reciprocal coupling (non-Hamiltonian optical forces) between metamolecules

    Nonlinear nanomechanical photonic metamaterials

    No full text
    By harnessing mechanical and optical resonances in tandem one can enhance the magnitude of actuation and optical response in dynamically reconfigurable nanostructures driven by microwatt optical signals and low-intensity acoustic vibrations. We review recent work on structures exhibiting profound opto-mechanical nonlinearity and bistability

    Metamaterial Nanomachines driven by heat, sound, electric and magnetic fields, and light

    No full text
    We review recent advances in the physics and technology of plasmonic and dielectric nanomechanical metamaterials, wherein optical and mechanical resonances can be coupled to provide a plethora of dynamic photonic functionalities. External electric, magnetic, thermal, acoustic and optical stimuli drive pico/nanometric displacements of the metamaterial building blocks, modulating optical properties at MHz frequencies
