title: Artificial permeability and antibonding magnetic resonance in a copper-structured metamaterial with symmetry-broken ring-plate resonators.
abstract: We numerically investigate the antibonding magnetic resonance in a metamaterial composed of rings and plates, with a particular attention to the influence of broken structural symmetry on the Fano-type transmission spectrum as well as the resonant artificial permeability. From the simulation results, it is obvious that the antibonding magnetic resonance with strong magnetic-dipole coupling is responsible for the Fano-type profile, since an increase of the structural asymmetry extent to reduce the magnetic field confinement in one of the gaps will form, in contrary, a Lorentzian resonance dip. The dual excitation pathways, i.e., electric and magnetic resonances, at destructive interference are the underlying reason of the Fano-type transmission response. Additionally, the structural-asymmetry dependence of the artificial permeability shows that the broken symmetry can strongly modify the effective permeability due to the altering magnetic-dipole interactions. It is found that an anti-resonant curve of permeability versus frequency will be resulted in if significant symmetry-broken structure is introduced.
