A new approach to understanding the origin of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands (Spain): A U-Pb, Hf and O isotope and minor- and trace- element detrital zircon study
DownloadSpring 2019
The Canarian Archipelago contains seven islands proximal to the African continent and High Atlas Mountains. The origin and magmatic evolution of these islands has been a contentious issue for several decades. This particular archipelago is unique because three of the islands (Fuerteventura, La...

A New Class of Resonant Metasurfaces Based on Highly Subwavelength Metamaterial-Lined Apertures and Metamaterial-Coated Discs
DownloadSpring 2019
This work presents analytical, numerical and experimental studies of a new class of resonant metasurfaces (MTSs), which may also be classified as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed MTS unit cells consist of circular aperture or disc resonators that are made...
