Description:
Author(s): Toshiyuki Kodama, Satoshi Tomita, Takeshi Kato, Daiki Oshima, Satoshi Iwata, Satoshi Okamoto, Nobuaki Kikuchi, Osamu Kitakami, Nobuyoshi Hosoito, and Hisao Yanagi We often consider bulk metamaterials with engineered electromagnetic properties, or even metasurfaces, but what about an individual m e t a m o l e c u l e ? The authors study the magnetization configuration of an isolated, micrometer-sized metamolecule, designed and cleverly fabricated to break both space-inversion and time-reversal symmetry. Such a system could be used for a one-way mirror controlled by magnetic field, or as an artificial multiferroic material operating at convenient fields and temperatures. [Phys. Rev.
