2. Presentation Outline Intro to Metamaterials Project Outline Recent Progress Recent Problems The Next Step

3. Metamaterials Have a periodic material that has photonic or phononic properties. *Taken From 3.042 handout & Physics Worlds 2005 “Sound Ideas”

4. Project Outline Gain access to labs Get trained on equipment Thick 1D structures  2D structures  Phase masks  Create thick 3D periodic structures  Test for photonic and mechanical properties

5. Recent Progress Created a 3D plaster model of a periodic structure

6. Recent Progress Gained access to EML and CMSE labs Deposition of thick films of photoresist on silicon wafers 2D pattern creation on photoresist using lithography techniques

7. Recent Problems Gaining approval of accounts and access to machines Cutting SEM samples from our bulk lithography wafers

8. The Next Steps Capture SEM images for our samples at various magnifications Create a 2D pattern to act as a model for the 3D phase mask
