Features of electrodynamics of fine-structured resonant metamaterials

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We give a brief review of the state of the art of theoretical and experimental studies in the field of electrodynamics of resonant composite materials (metamaterials) whose dielectric permittivity or magnetic permeability or both can be negative. Principles and methods of realization of such metamaterials in the microwave range, their main distinctive electrodynamic properties, prospects for creating new systems and devices (e.g., more perfect lenses), and ways for moving towards the higher frequencies from microwaves to optics are discussed.
