Abstract

The refraction of a plane s-polarized electromagnetic wave on the vacuum–metamaterial interface is considered. It is established that, under certain conditions, a medium consisting of electric and magnetic dipoles or entirely of electric dipoles can behave as possessing a zero refractive index at a preset frequency.
