| contents | Negative permittivity metamaterial is a scientifically rich avenue due to its tremendous application in several arena of materials research including novel superlens, band-gap materials, invisibility cloaks, antenna and filter design. Traditionally, epsilon negative (ENG) behaviour is achieved in multi-phase composites with the addition of conducting metal fillers. However, this study reports colossal ENG feature in a single phase Calcium Ferrite for a particular nano hollow spherical (NHS) morphology, without the use of any filler. On the contrary, the same material synthesized in a different morphology, namely, nano solid sphere (NSS) shows conventional dielectric behaviour. Occurrence of ENG is successfully interpreted with the phase inversion of dominant polarization within the hollow cavity of NHS. This report marks a significant step in realizing colossal ENG in a single phase material just by restructuring the nanoscale morphology. |
