Metamaterials:Theory, Design, and Applications goes beyond left-handed materials (LHM) or negative index materials (NIM) and focuses on recent research activity. Included here is an introduction to optical transformation theory, revealing invisible cloaks, EM concentrators, beam splitters, and new-type antennas, a presentation of general theory on artificial metamaterials composed of periodic structures, coverage of a new rapid design method for inhomogeneous metamaterials, which makes it easier to design a cloak, and new developments including but not limited to experimental verification of invisible cloaks, FDTD simulations of invisible cloaks, the microwave and RF applications of metamaterials, sub-wavelength imaging using anisotropic metamaterials, dynamical metamaterial systems, photonic metamaterials, and magnetic plasmon effects of metamaterials. Coverage of optical transformation theory, including the invisible cloaks, concentrators, beam splitters and antennas New rapid design of inhomogeneous metamaterials Experimental verification techniques for invisible cloaks Discusses microwave and RF applications of metamaterials New material on the photonic metamaterials and the magnetic plasmon effects INDICE: Introduction to recent progress on metamaterials.- Optical transformation theory.- General theory on artificial metmaterials.- Rapid design of inhomogeneous metamaterials.- Broadband and low-loss non-resonant metmaterials.- Experimental realization of electromagnetic cloaks.- FTDT modeling of electromagnetic cloaks.- Compensated anisotropic metmaterials: manipulating the sub-wavelength images.- The dynamical study of the metamaterial systems.- Photonicmetamaterials based on fractal geometry.- Magnetic plasmon modes introduced by the coupling effect in metamaterials.- Enhancing optical coupling with metamaterials.- Wideband and low loss metamaterials for microwave and RF applications: fast algorithm and antenna design.- Application of metamaterials in large-scale antennas and microwave components.- Other applications of metamatrials.
