Education edit

Sergei Tretyakov has received the Engineer's degree and the Candidate of Sciences (PhD) degree in radiophysics from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, USSR in 1980 and 1987, respectively. In 1994 he was granted a Docent Diploma by the Ministry of Education of Russian Federation and in the following year he received Doctor of Sciences degree from St. Petersburg State Technical University, Russia. Tretyakov obtained his Full Professor Diploma in 1997 granted by the Ministry of Education, Russia.

Career edit

Professional career of Sergei Tretyakov started in 1980 at Radiophysics Department of Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, where he had been an engineer and junior researcher until 1986. In 1986 he was promoted to the position of assistant professor and in 1989 to the position of associate professor. In October 1988, Tretyakov had a 10-months-long research visit to Helsinki University of Technology (from 2010, Aalto University) according to the exchange program between the Ministries of Education in Finland and Soviet Union.[5] During following 8 years, Tretyakov was affiliated with both Electromagnetics Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology where he worked with Ismo Lindell and Ari Sihvola and St. Petersburg State Technical University where he worked with Constantin Simovski. Tretyakov visited CEA Cesta (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission research centre), also affiliated with the Laboratory of Wave-Material Interactions in University of Bordeaux, for 6 months in 1994 as a visiting scientist. In 1996, he was promoted to full professor position in St. Petersburg State Technical University, where he also became a director of Complex Media Electromagnetics Laboratory. From January 1999 until July 2000 Tretyakov was a visiting professor in Electromagnetics Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology and in August 2000, he moved to the Helsinki University of Technology as a full professor of Radio Engineering. Later on, as a visiting professor, he visited the Abbe Center of Photonics in Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany during June – July 2013, and the Department of Photonics Engineering in Technical University of Denmark during January - April 2013. He educated 13 doctors of science.

Research edit

Tretyakov has authored or co-authored more than 280 papers in refereed journals, 5 books, and 17 book chapters.[2][6] Tretyakov's research career started with his diploma thesis under supervision of Prof. V.A. Rozov.[5] The thesis was devoted to the problem of diffraction at an edge of dense planar arrays of metal wires,[7][8] what is now referred as metasurfaces or two-dimensional metamaterials. During the doctoral studies, Tretyakov worked on ferrite-based anisotropic layered structures under supervision of Prof. M.I. Kontorovich.[9] The first research visit to Helsinki University of Technology profoundly influenced his research interest, shifting it towards a novel and very promising direction of complex electromagnetic materials (now called metamaterials). From this time forth Tretyakov actively works in this research direction with the main contributions listed below.

Electromagnetics of chiral and general bianisotropic media edit

Tretyakov made important contributions to research of bianisotropic media.[10][11] Together with co-authors, he developed the general theory of electromagnetic waves interactions with bianisotropic materials and layers. Moreover, Tretyakov proposed and experimentally characterized first non-reciprocal bianisotropic scatterers of two types: so-called Tellegen scatterer[12] (named after Bernard D. H. Tellegen who suggested gyrator as a circuit element with equivalent electromagnetic response) and artificial "moving" scatterer[13] (a composite based on such scatterers emulate response of a truly moving medium). In 1997, Tretyakov and his colleagues demonstrated that chiral effects (optical rotation and circular dichroism) can be achieved even with an infinitely thin composite layer without broken mirror symmetry.[14] This effect was subsequently named as planar chirality and independently discovered by the team of Nikolay I. Zheludev in 2003.[15]

Chiral nihility and negative refractive index edit

Possibility of existence of a backward wave medium, where electromagnetic waves propagate with anti-parallel phase and group velocities, was suggested by several scientists throughout the twentieth century: Arthur Schuster,[16][17] Horace Lamb,[18] Leonid Mandelstam,[19] Victor Veselago,[20] and others. However, due to the absence of materials with such properties in nature, wide interest to the backward wave media was generated only in the early 2000s, when the team of David R. Smith experimentally demonstrated first negative-index metamaterial.[21] In 2003, Tretyakov and colleagues suggested an alternative way to achieve backward waves by using bianisotropic chiral materials.[22][23] In this case, it is not required to engineer negative permittivity and permeability, instead, one should just ensure proper chiral response of the material. In the extreme case of so-called chiral nihility (when both relative permittivity and permeability are much smaller than the chirality parameter), two eigenwaves represent "forward" and "backward" circularly polarized waves with equal phase velocities. The existence of backward waves in chiral media was independently suggested by John Pendry in 2004.[24]

Broadband cloaking of cylindrical objects edit

Inspired by the idea of transformation-optics based electromagnetic cloaking, Tretyakov's team developed an alternative realization of the same effect for cylindrical objects.[25] In contrast to the previous designs, Tretyakov's cloaking device exhibits significantly increased bandwidth and lower amount of dissipation loss.[26] Moreover, it does not require the use of exotic metamaterials with gradient permittivity and permeability, but, instead, is based on conducting plates with a simple geometry.

Strong spatial dispersion in wire media edit

In 2003, Tretyakov's group demonstrated that a dense array of metal wires (wire medium), generally, exhibits strong nonlocal response (spatial dispersion), i.e. cannot be described by usual material parameters such as permittivity.[27] The property of strong spatial dispersion enables the use of wire media for subwavelength imaging and transmission of images over long distances.[28]

Superlensing edit

The concept of the superlens, introduced by John Pendry in 2000 as an extension of the work done by Victor Veselago, showed a theoretical possibility to achieve optical resolution well below the wavelength. In 2003, Stanislav Maslovski and Sergei Tretyakov showed that an alternative to Pendry’s device can be constructed using layers that impose the necessary boundary conditions at two parallel planes in free space.[29] Later in 2004, Tretyakov with co-authors explored the necessary electromagnetic properties of the layers and confirmed the effect with experiments.[30]

Constitutive parameters of metamaterials edit

By definition, metamaterials are realized as lattices whose periodicity is assumed to be much smaller than the wavelength. However, it is important that, though small, the periodicity is not negligible with respect to the wavelength. For this reason, if one formally introduces constitutive parameters for such regime, they will not be measurable response functions, and it will not be possible to use them for a sample of other dimensions or for a sample excited in another way. In other words, such formally introduced material parameters cannot satisfy the conditions of locality. In 2007, Tretyakov and colleagues explained the physical meaning of calculated material parameters, different from the meaning of the local constitutive parameters[31]

High-impedance surfaces and metasurfaces edit

High Impedance Surfaces (HIS), also known as Artificial Magnetic Conductors (AMC), are artificial structures designed by applying special textures to a conducting surface. In a narrow band of frequencies, these structures have very high impendences which can be used as ground planes for novel low profile antennas and other electromagnetic structures. In 2008, Tretyakov and colleagues developed analytical formulas for the calculation of the grid impedance of electrically dense arrays of strips and square patches and their applications for HIS.[32] Tretyakov also made an important contribution to clarify the role of spatial dispersion in the mushroom structure in 2009. This work demonstrated that, under some conditions, spatial dispersion is suppressed.[33] More recently, he worked on modelling and applications of thin composite layers with engineered electromagnetic properties (metasurfaces), in particular, developing approaches to full control of reflected and transmitted waves.
