Abstract

A composition of matter includes a substrate material (M) having a bulk portion and an outer surface integrated to the bulk portion. The outer surface includes a modified surface layer. The modified surface layer extends to a depth from the outer surface of at least 1 nm. The modified surface layer includes M and at least one other material (X) which is a metal or metal alloy. The modified surface layer has a 25 DEG C electrical conductivity which is at least 2.5 % above or below a 25 DEG C electrical conductivity in the bulk portion of M. The composition of matter can be an article that includes a frequency selective surface-based metamaterial, and the plurality of modified surface portions can be a plurality of periodic surface elements that provide a resonant frequency.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed embodiments relate to materials comprising particles and objects having modified surfaces that provide a modified overall response to incident electromagnetic fields as compared to a bulk of the material. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique commonly used to image the interior of the human body. In general, a strong magnetic field (eg, 1.5 T) is applied to the patient to align the nuclear magnetization vectors of hydrogen atoms in water of the patient's tissue under investigation. Simultaneously, an RF (eg, 63.86 MHz) magnetic field (-0.14 μT) is applied to perturb the aligned magnetization, causing the hydrogen nuclei to emit signatures of energy detectable by the scanner in the MRI system. [0003] The MRI signal is used to construct the image. Different tissues are tested because protons return to their equilibrium nuclear magnetization states at different rates in each tissue....
