Physics and Applications of Negative Refractive Index MaterialsAuthor(s): S. Anantha Ramakrishna, Tomasz M. Grzegorczyk\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367577483, 978-0367577483\nSynopsis\nEver since the first experimental demonstration was reported in 2000, the interest in metamaterials and left-handed media that exhibit a negative refractive index has increased exponentially. Surveying this explosive growth, Physics and Applications of Negative Refractive Index Materials covers the fundamental physical principles and emerging engineering applications of structured electromagnetic metamaterials that yield a negative refraction as well as other unexpected physical properties. It provides detailed explanations on the history, development, and main achievements of metamaterials.\n\nMaking it easy to access relevant, up-to-date information on the field, the authors bring together the most important and influential.
