Higher order multipoles in metamaterial homogenization

Optics 2018-12-11 v2

Abstract

The higher order multipoles above the electric quadrupole are commonly neglected in metamaterial homogenization. We show that they nevertheless can be significant when second order spatial dispersive effects, such as the magnetic response, are considered. In this respect, they can be equally important as the magnetization and quadrupole terms, and should not automatically be neglected.
