Metamaterials and Metasurfaces

Metamaterials are commonly known to make things invisible. As artificially structured metal-dielectric composites mimicking natural materials they exhibit properties that are not available in nature including: negative refractive index, reversal of Doppler Effect, and the reversed Cerenkov Effect. Metasurface is a planar version of metamaterial exhibiting a number of novel functionalities. With extensive research in the field of metamaterials and metasurfaces in the last two decades new application possibilities are emerging in microwave, THz and optical frequency spectrums.

This book reviews the physics, technology, and design issues related to metamaterials and metasurfaces. The text covers the fundamental concepts and potential applications as well as future trends. It explores all aspects of metamaterial's and metasurface's physics and engineering operating in the electromagnetic spectrum covering microwave, terahertz and optical domain.

This is a suitable text for teaching in the bachelor's and master's degree courses on metamaterials and metasurfaces in universities and engineering colleges. The book is also useful for researchers in metamaterials and metasurfaces including professionals and general readers who are looking to explore this emerging field of research in electromagnetics.
