RESUMO
To prevent the electromagnetic (EM) wakefields excitation, protect detectors from damage at a range of installations and facilities including particle accelerators the EM field control is required. Conductive foils or wires providing EM protection and required thermal and mechanical properties are normally used. We suggest novel composite materials with uniquely designed frequency selective conductivity enabling them to overcome the properties of the conventional materials, protect from EM fields and supress undesirable phenomena. Theoretical and experimental investigations are carried out and the conductivity of designed and composite (dual-layer) aluminium/graphene metamaterials as well as graphene and aluminium foils is studied. The EM properties of these materials are compared, and conditions of full and partial electromagnetic transparency are discussed. Results observed allow engineering materials capable of EM field control, instability suppression including those observed in high-intensity particle accelerators and enabling control of an EM field generating media including relativistic charge particle beams.
