- This describes the development of a metamaterial derived probe for mapping the dielectric properties of materials and devices. Almost all other methods for deriving dielectric permittivity and loss require large volumes of uniform specimens. This probe can measure very small sample volumes and obtain spatially varying profiles for anisotropic samples. The probe has now been built into a 3D printing system enabling immediate tomographic mapping during fabrication and is being trailed for the assessment of advanced material coatings in aircraft. It is the basis for an ongoing collaboration between Oxford, NPL, and BAE.
