A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond" or "after", and the Latin word materia, meaning "matter" or "material") is a type of material engineered to have a property, typically rarely observed in naturally occurring materials, that is derived not from the properties of the base materials but from their newly designed ...
A metamaterial which produces a negative index of refraction.The total array consists of 3×20×20 unit cells with overall dimensions of 10×100×100 millimeters. The history of metamaterials begins with artificial dielectrics in microwave engineering as it developed just after World War II.
The earliest research in metamaterial antennas was an analytical study of a miniature dipole antenna surrounded with a metamaterial. This material is known variously as a negative index metamaterial (NIM) or double negative metamaterial (DNG) among other names.
A tunable metamaterial is a metamaterial with a variable response to an incident electromagnetic wave. This includes remotely controlling how an incident ...
SEM image of a pentamode metamaterial (with a size of roughly 300μm) A pentamode metamaterial is an artificial three-dimensional structure which, despite being a solid, ideally behaves like a fluid. Thus, it has a finite bulk but vanishing shear modulus, or in other words it is hard to compress yet easy to deform.
Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to provide properties which may not be readily available in nature. These materials employ the inclusion of small inhomogeneities to enact effective macroscopic behavior.
A photonic metamaterial (PM), also known as an optical metamaterial, is a type of electromagnetic metamaterial, that interacts with light, covering terahertz , infrared (IR) or visible wavelengths. [1]
Negative-index metamaterial or negative-index material (NIM) is a metamaterial whose refractive index for an electromagnetic wave has a negative value over some frequency range. [ 1 ] NIMs are constructed of periodic basic parts called unit cells , which are usually significantly smaller than the wavelength of the externally applied ...
