Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations is a book length introduction to the fundamental research and advancements in electromagnetic composite substances known as electromagnetic

numerical, and experimental perspectives.[1][2]

This book has been cited by a few hundred other peer-reviewed research efforts, mostly peer-reviewed science articles.[3]

Authors

nanoantennas.[4][5]

nanoparticle lasers.[6][7]

Through their respective research, both Engheta and Ziolkowski have each contributed significantly to advancing metamaterials. Ziolkowski has been described as being at the leading edge of metamaterials research since a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) workshop, in November, 1999.

Research

Nader Engheta and Richard W. Ziolkowski, are also the editors of this book. They have compiled the published research related to metamaterials at the end of each chapter of this book. The content of each chapter describes the path the current research is taking in its respective domain. Included are descriptions of basic research (physics), and how it is applied (engineering). The chapters are written by contributors who are carrying out the actual research and applications, including some chapter contributions by Engheta and Ziolkowski.

Hence, the content of the book also consists of

waveguides, and related devices, and components.[1][2][8][9]

Scope

The first chapter opens with a very brief overview of the history of metamaterials. Afterwards, a history treatment is interspersed throughout the book, which frames the discussion of the related section or chapter. The organizational structure of the book begins with dividing the subject, electromagnetic metamaterials, into two major classes of metamaterials. The first major class is the

SNG and DNG metamaterials, and the second major class is EBG structured metamaterials.[1][2][10]

The organizational format relates the

effective media.[1][2][10]

EBG metamaterials, on the other hand, can be described by other periodic media concepts.

These classes are sub-divided further into their three-dimensional (3D volumetric) and two-dimensional (2D planar or surface) realizations. Examples of the aforementioned types of metamaterials are provided and their known and anticipated properties are described.[1][2][10]

In all, there are 14 chapters, along with a preface by the authors.

Coverage

The book presents broad coverage of electromagnetic metamaterials. Coverage also includes

peer reviewed article reference lists, at the end of each chapter, are noteworthy.[1][2][9]
