Metamaterials: Beyond Crystals, Noncrystals, and Quasicrystals is a
comprehensive and updated research monograph that focuses on recent
advances in metamaterials based on the effective medium theory in
microwave frequencies. Most of these procedures were conducted in
the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves, Southeast University,
China. The book conveys the essential concept of metamaterials from
the microcosmic structure to the macroscopic electromagnetic
properties and helps readers quickly obtain needed skills in
creating new devices at microwave frequencies using metamaterials.
The authors present the latest progress on metamaterials and
transformation optics and provide abundant examples of
metamaterial-based devices accompanied with detailed procedures to
simulate, fabricate, and measure them. Comprised of ten chapters,
the book comprehensively covers both the fundamentals and the
applications of metamaterials. Along with an introduction to the
subject, the first three chapters discuss effective medium theory
and artificial particles. The next three chapters cover homogeneous
metamaterials (super crystals), random metamaterials (super
noncrystals), and inhomogeneous metamaterials (super
quasicrystals). The final four chapters examine gradient-index
inhomogeneous metamaterials, nearly isotropic inhomogeneous
metamaterials, and anisotropic inhomogeneous metamaterials, after
which the authors provide their conclusions and closing remarks.
The book is completely self-contained, making it easy to follow.
Metamaterials, including their two-dimensional counterparts, are
composed of subwavelength-scale artificial particles. These
materials have novel electromagnetic properties, and can be
artificially tailored for various applications. Based on
metamaterials and metasurfaces, many abnormal physical phenomena
have been realized, such as negative refraction, invisible
cloaking, abnormal reflection and focusing, and many new functions
and devices have been developed. The effective medium theory lays
the foundation for design and application of metamaterials and
metasurfaces, connecting metamaterials with real world
applications. In this Element, the authors combine these essential
ingredients, and aim to make this Element an access point to this
field. To this end, they review classical theories for dielectric
functions, effective medium theory, and effective parameter
extraction of metamaterials, also introducing front edge
technologies like metasurfaces with theories, methods, and
potential applications. Energy densities are also included.
