# Metamaterial branes

## TL;DR

This paper introduces metamaterial analogs of brane models using geometric optics, enabling simulation of both thin and thick branes with confinement mechanisms, advancing the physical modeling of extra-dimensional theories.

## Contribution

It presents a novel approach to model brane-world scenarios with metamaterials, including confinement mechanics and asymmetrical configurations, bridging theoretical physics and material science.

## Key findings

- Successfully modeled Randall-Sundrum and Gremm branes using metamaterials.
- Demonstrated incorporation of Yukawa-like confinement in analog systems.
- Created asymmetrical brane models with and without confinement mechanisms.

## Abstract

In this article, we propose metamaterials analog brane models based on the geometric optics approach. We show how to model the Randall-Sundrum thin brane model and the Gremm model for a thick brane. We incorporate the Yukawa-like confinement mechanics for thick branes in the analog system and show an asymmetrical analog brane model with and without the confinement mechanisms.
