Abstract

Metamaterials are characterized by their nonconventional material parameters, examples being media that possess very large or very small, even negative, permittivities and permeabilities. This article discusses a classification scheme in which various electromagnetic materials with extreme values of parameters (very large or very small) can be placed and related to one another.
