Dielectric metamaterials with quasicrystal structure

Three types of quasicrystal lattices based on the Penrose tiling are considered. We analyze the maximum filling fraction of these structures and find a design with the filling fraction corresponding to the case of periodic lattices. By using simulations of a Gaussian beam propagation through the quasicrystal structure we obtain a homogeneous field distribution that is a hallmark of near-zero regimes in metamaterials. (paper)
