Four definitions of magnetic permeability for periodic metamaterials

Classical Physics 2019-02-11 v2 Materials Science

Abstract

We state and compare four different definitions of magnetic permeability for periodic, artificial media, or metamaterials. The connection between them, and properties in general, are discussed in detail, including causality, passivity, symmetry, asymptotic behavior, and origin dependence. The analysis is limited to metamaterials made from linear and nonmagnetic constituents.
