Learn about the revolutionary new technology of negative-refractionmetamaterials
Negative-Refraction Metamaterials: Fundamental Principles andApplications introduces artificial materials that support theunusual electromagnetic property of negative refraction. Readerswill discover several classes of negative-refraction materialsalong with their exciting, groundbreaking applications, such aslenses and antennas, imaging with super-resolution, microwavedevices, dispersion-compensating interconnects, radar, anddefense.
The book begins with a chapter describing the fundamentals ofisotropic metamaterials in which a negative index of refraction isdefined. In the following chapters, the text builds on thefundamentals by describing a range of useful microwave devices andantennas. Next, a broad spectrum of exciting new research andemerging applications is examined, including:
* Theory and experiments behind a super-resolving,negative-refractive-index transmission-line lens
* 3-D transmission-line metamaterials with a negative refractiveindex
* Numerical simulation studies of negative refraction of Gaussianbeams and associated focusing phenomena
* Unique advantages and theory of shaped lenses made ofnegative-refractive-index metamaterials
* A new type of transmission-line metamaterial that is anisotropicand supports the formation of sharp steerable beams (resonancecones)
* Implementations of negative-refraction metamaterials at opticalfrequencies
* Unusual propagation phenomena in metallic waveguides partiallyfilled with negative-refractive-index metamaterials
* Metamaterials in which the refractive index and the underlyinggroup velocity are both negative
This work brings together the best minds in this cutting-edgefield. It is fascinating reading for scientists, engineers, andgraduate-level students in physics, chemistry, materials science,photonics, and electrical engineering.
