The problem of definition of effective material parameters (permittivity and permeability) for composite layers containing only one-two parallel arrays of complex-shaped inclusions is discussed. Such structures are of high importance for…
We determine rigorously the effective permeability of magnetic metamaterials composed of passive particles exhibiting magnetic resonances. The effective permeability is expressed in terms of circuit parameters characteristic to these…
Metamaterials are artificial composite structures designed for controlling waves or fields, and exhibit interaction phenomena that are unexpected on the basis of their chemical constituents. These phenomena are encoded in effective material…
We present a numerical study of the electromagnetic response of the metamaterial elements that are usedto construct materials with negative refractive index. For an array of split ring resonators (SRR) we find that the resonant behavior of…
Although optical metamaterials that show artificial magnetism are mesoscopic systems, they are frequently described in terms of effective material parameters. But due to intrinsic nonlocal (or spatially dispersive) effects it may be…
We study the frequency dependence of the effective electromagnetic parameters of left-handed and related meta-materials of the split ring resonator and wire type. We show that the reduced translational symmetry (periodic structure) inherent…
To discuss the properties of metamaterials on physical grounds and to consider them in applications, effective material parameters are usually introduced and assigned to a given metamaterial. In most cases, only weak spatial dispersion is…
An effective medium theory for resonant and non-resonant metamaterials for flexural waves in thin plates is presented. The theory provides closed-form expressions for the effective parameters of arrangement of inclusions or resonators in…
We analyze the reflection and transmission coefficients calculated from transfer matrix simulations on finite lenghts of electromagnetic metamaterials, to determine the effective permittivity and permeability. We perform this analysis on…
In this paper we discuss effective material parameter description of new nanostructures designed to perform as artificial magnetic materials for vis- ible light. Among these structures there are various split-ring resonators, dual-bar…
We start from a one-dimensional periodic multilayered stack in order to define a frequency power expansion of effective permittivity, permeability and bianisotropic parameters. It is shown from the first order that a simple dielectric…
Metamaterials are known to exhibit a variety of electromagnetic properties non-existing in nature. We show that an all-dielectric (non-magnetic) system consisting of deep subwavelength, high permittivity resonant spheres possess effective…
An expression for the electromagnetic field energy density in a dispersive, lossy, left-handed metamaterial, consisting of an array of split-ring resonators and an array of wires is derived. An electromagnetic field with general…
It is commonly assumed that the long-wavelength limit of a metamaterial can always be described in terms of effective permeability and permittivity tensors. This assumption holds true in all metamaterials considered up to now. Here we…
The authors introduce a general mechanism, based on electrostatic and magnetostatic considerations, for designing three-dimensional isotopic metamaterials that possess an enhanced refractive index over an extremely large frequency range.…
We present an effective-medium model for calculating the frequency-dependent effective permittivity $\epsilon(\omega)$ and permeability $\mu(\omega)$ of metamaterial composites containing spherical particles with arbitrary permittivity and…
The resonant elements that grant metamaterials their unique properties have the fundamental limitation of restricting their useable frequency bandwidth. The development of frequency-agile metamaterials has helped to alleviate these…
The conventional description of time-varying media assumes that electromagnetic fields evolve according to fixed continuity conditions during parameter jumps. Here we reveal that these conditions are not physical constraints but tunable…
General relations for the stored reactive field energy density in passive linear artificial microwave materials are established. These relations account for dispersion and absorption effects in these materials, and they are valid also in…
We analyze the transmission and reflection data obtained through transfer matrix calculations on metamaterials of finite lengths, to determine their effective permittivity and permeability. Our study concerns metamaterial structures…
