    • 2016, Alexey A. Basharin, Vitaliy Chuguevskiy, Nikita Volsky, Maria Kafesaki, Eleftherios N. Economou, Alexey V. Ustinov, “Extremely high Q-factor toroidal metamaterials”, in arXiv[1]:
      We demonstrate that, owing to the unique topology of the toroidal dipolar mode, its electric/magnetic field can be spatially confined within subwavelength, externally accessible regions of the metamolecules, which makes the toroidal planar metamaterials a viable platform for high Q-factor resonators due to interfering toroidal and other dipolar modes in metamolecules..
