We propose a new class of metamaterials called magneto-optical metamaterials that offer enhanced angle of rotation in polarization compared to bulk magneto-optical materials. In the proposed approach, the permittivity tensor of a…

Control of light by an external magnetic field is one of the important methods for modulation of its intensity and polarisation. Magneto-optical effects at the nanoscale are usually observed in magnetophotonic crystals, nanostructured…

In this paper, we show that the linear dielectrics and magnetic materials in matter obey a special kind of mathematical property known as Ces\`{a}ro convergence. Then, we also show that the analytical continuation of the linear permittivity…
