Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the coupling effects in stacked magnetic metamaterials in the optical frequency range. The formation of magnetic molecules from couple magnetic atoms was observed by using stacked fishnet metamaterials. The study used some standard fabrication method to prepare mulitlayer optical metamaterials. It was observed that the plasmonic building blocks can be useful for the preparation of magnetic molecules in metamaterials. The study also observed that the interaction of the magnetic plasmons can provide a platform for the formation of artificial magnetic molecules. The study concluded that the interaction of magnetic plasmons analysis explored the way to design three-dimensional magnetic metamaterials in the optical frequency regime.
