Metamaterial

A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning 'beyond' or 'after', and the Latin word materia, meaning 'matter' or 'material') is an engineered material whose properties arise not from the chemical composition of its base substances, but from their deliberately designed internal structure. These properties are often rare or absent in naturally occurring materials. Metamaterials are typically fashioned from multiple materials, such as metals and plastics, and arranged in repeating patterns at scales that are smaller than the wavelengths of the phenomena they influence. Their shape, geometry, size, orientation, and arrangement give them their properties of manipulating electromagnetic, acoustic, or seismic waves: by blocking, absorbing, enhancing, or bending waves, to achieve benefits that go beyond what is possible with conventional materials.[1][2][3][4]

Potential applications of metamaterials are diverse and include sports equipment,[5][6] optical filters, medical devices, remote aerospace applications, sensor detection and infrastructure monitoring, smart solar power management, lasers,[7] crowd control, radomes, high-frequency battlefield communication and lenses for high-gain antennas, improving ultrasonic sensors, and even shielding structures from earthquakes.[8]Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag

## History

Main article: Engineering:History of metamaterials

Explorations of artificial materials for manipulating electromagnetic waves began at the end of the 19th century. Some of the earliest structures that may be considered metamaterials were studied by Jagadish Chandra Bose, who in 1898 researched substances with chiral properties. Karl Ferdinand Lindman studied wave interaction with metallic helices as artificial chiral media in the early twentieth century.

In the late 1940s, Winston E. Kock from AT&T Bell Laboratories developed materials that had similar characteristics to metamaterials. In the 1950s and 1960s, artificial dielectrics were studied for lightweight microwave antennas. Microwave radar absorbers were researched in the 1980s and 1990s as applications for artificial chiral media.[9][10][11]

Negative-index materials were first described theoretically by Victor Veselago in 1967.[12] He proved that such materials could transmit light. He showed that the phase velocity could be made anti-parallel to the direction of Poynting vector. This is contrary to wave propagation in naturally occurring materials.[2]

In 1995, John M. Guerra fabricated a sub-wavelength transparent grating (later called a photonic metamaterial) having 50 nm lines and spaces, and then coupled it with a standard oil immersion microscope objective (the combination later called a super-lens) to resolve a grating in a silicon wafer also having 50 nm lines and spaces. This super-resolved image was achieved with illumination having a wavelength of 650 nm in air.[13]

In 2000, John Pendry was the first to identify a practical way to make a left-handed metamaterial, a material in which the right-hand rule is not followed.[12] Such a material allows an electromagnetic wave to convey energy (have a group velocity) against its phase velocity. Pendry hypothesized that metallic wires aligned along the direction of a wave could provide negative permittivity (dielectric function ε < 0). Natural materials (such as ferroelectrics) display negative permittivity; the challenge was achieving negative permeability (μ < 0). In 1999, Pendry demonstrated that a split ring (C shape) with its axis placed along the direction of wave propagation could do so. In the same paper, he showed that a periodic array of wires and rings could give rise to a negative refractive index. Pendry also proposed a related negative-permeability design, the Swiss roll.

In 2000, David R. Smith et al. reported the experimental demonstration of functioning electromagnetic metamaterials by horizontally stacking, periodically, split-ring resonators and thin wire structures. A method was provided in 2002 to realize negative-index metamaterials using artificial lumped-element loaded transmission lines in microstrip technology. In 2003, complex (both real and imaginary parts of) negative refractive index[14] and imaging by flat lens[15] using left handed metamaterials were demonstrated. Negative index of refraction in the optical range was first demonstrated by Vladimir Shalaev et al.[3] By 2007, experiments that involved negative refractive index had been conducted by many groups.[1][16] At microwave frequencies, the first, imperfect invisibility cloak was realized in 2006.[17][18][19][20][21]

From the standpoint of governing equations, contemporary researchers can classify the realm of metamaterials into three primary branches:[22] Electromagnetic/Optical wave metamaterials, other wave metamaterials, and diffusion metamaterials. These branches are characterized by their respective governing equations, which include Maxwell's equations (a wave equation describing transverse waves), other wave equations (for longitudinal and transverse waves), and diffusion equations (pertaining to diffusion processes).[23] Crafted to govern a range of diffusion activities, diffusion metamaterials prioritize diffusion length as their central metric. This crucial parameter experiences temporal fluctuations while remaining immune to frequency variations. In contrast, wave metamaterials, designed to adjust various wave propagation paths, consider the wavelength of incoming waves as their essential metric. This wavelength remains constant over time, though it adjusts with frequency alterations. Fundamentally, the key metrics for diffusion and wave metamaterials present a stark divergence, underscoring a distinct complementary relationship between them. For comprehensive information, refer to Section I.B, "Evolution of metamaterial physics," in Ref.[22]

The unusual properties of metamaterials arise from the resonant response of each constituent element rather than their spatial arrangement into a lattice. It allows considering the local effective material parameters (permittivity and permeability). The resonance effect related to the mutual arrangement of elements is responsible for Bragg scattering, which underlies the physics of photonic crystals, another class of electromagnetic materials. Unlike the local resonances, Bragg scattering and corresponding Bragg stop-band have a low-frequency limit determined by the lattice spacing. The subwavelength approximation ensures that the Bragg stop-bands with the strong spatial dispersion effects are at higher frequencies and can be neglected. The criterion for shifting the local resonance below the lower Bragg stop-band make it possible to build a photonic phase transition diagram in a parameter space, for example, size and permittivity of the constituent element. Such diagram displays the domain of structure parameters allowing the metamaterial properties observation in the electromagnetic material.[24]

For microwave radiation, the features are on the order of millimeters. Microwave frequency metamaterials are usually constructed as arrays of electrically conductive elements (such as loops of wire) that have suitable inductive and capacitive characteristics. Many microwave metamaterials use split-ring resonators.[25][26]

Photonic metamaterials are structured on the nanometer scale and manipulate light at optical frequencies. Photonic crystals and frequency-selective surfaces such as diffraction gratings, dielectric mirrors and optical coatings exhibit similarities to subwavelength structured metamaterials. However, these are usually considered distinct from metamaterials, as their function arises from diffraction or interference and thus cannot be approximated as a homogeneous material. However, material structures such as photonic crystals are effective in the visible light spectrum. The middle of the visible spectrum has a wavelength of approximately 560 nm (for sunlight). Photonic crystal structures are generally half this size or smaller, that is < 280 nm. {{Citation needed|date=January 2011} Plasmonic metamaterials utilize surface plasmons, which are packets of electrical charge that collectively oscillate at the surfaces of metals at optical frequencies.

Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) can exhibit subwavelength characteristics and are known variously as artificial magnetic conductors (AMC) or High Impedance Surfaces (HIS). FSS display inductive and capacitive characteristics that are directly related to their subwavelength structure.[27]

Electromagnetic metamaterials can be divided into different classes, as follows:[1][12][9][28]

### Negative refractive index

A comparison of refraction in a left-handed metamaterial to that in a normal material

Main articles: Physics:Negative-index metamaterial and Negative refraction

Negative-index metamaterials (NIM) are characterized by a negative index of refraction. Other terms for NIMs include "left-handed media", "media with a negative refractive index", and "backward-wave media".[1] NIMs where the negative index of refraction arises from simultaneously negative permittivity and negative permeability are also known as double negative metamaterials or double negative materials (DNG).[12]

Assuming a material well-approximated by a real permittivity and permeability, the relationship between permittivity εr, permeability μr and refractive index n is given by n=±εrμr. All known non-metamaterial transparent materials (glass, water, ...) possess positive εr and μr. By convention the positive square root is used for n. However, some engineered metamaterials have εr and μr<0. Because the product εrμr is positive, n is real. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to take the negative square root for n. When both εr and μr are positive (negative), waves travel in the forward (backward) direction. Electromagnetic waves cannot propagate in materials with εr and μr of opposite sign as the refractive index becomes imaginary. Such materials are opaque for electromagnetic radiation and examples include plasmonic materials such as metals (gold, silver, ...).

File:Negative refraction.ogv

The foregoing considerations are simplistic for actual materials, which must have complex-valued εr and μr. The real parts of both εr and μr do not have to be negative for a passive material to display negative refraction.[29][30] Indeed, a negative refractive index for circularly polarized waves can also arise from chirality.[31][32] Metamaterials with negative n have numerous interesting properties:[9][33]

* Snell's law (n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2) still describes refraction, but as n2 is negative, incident and refracted rays are on the same side of the surface normal at an interface of positive and negative index materials.
* The time-averaged Poynting vector is antiparallel to phase velocity. However, for waves (energy) to propagate, a –μ must be paired with a –ε in order to satisfy the wave number dependence on the material parameters kc=ωμε.

Negative index of refraction derives mathematically from the vector triplet E, H and k.[9]

For plane waves propagating in electromagnetic metamaterials, the electric field, magnetic field and wave vector follow a left-hand rule, the reverse of the behavior of conventional optical materials.

To date, only metamaterials exhibit a negative index of refraction.[1][33]Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag

### Hyperbolic

Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) behave as a metal for certain polarization or direction of light propagation and behave as a dielectric for the other due to the negative and positive permittivity tensor components, giving extreme anisotropy. The material's dispersion relation in wavevector space forms a hyperboloid and therefore it is called a hyperbolic metamaterial. The extreme anisotropy of HMMs leads to directional propagation of light within and on the surface.[34] HMMs have shown various potential applications, such as sensing, reflection modulator,[35] all-optical ultra-fast switching for integrated photonics,[36] imaging, super high resolution and single photon source,[37] steering of optical signals, enhanced plasmon resonance effects.[38]

### Bandgap

Electromagnetic bandgap metamaterials (EBG or EBM) control light propagation. This is accomplished either with photonic crystals (PC) or left-handed materials (LHM). PCs can prohibit light propagation altogether. Both classes can allow light to propagate in specific, designed directions and both can be designed with bandgaps at desired frequencies.[39][40] The period size of EBGs is an appreciable fraction of the wavelength, creating constructive and destructive interference.

PC are distinguished from sub-wavelength structures, such as tunable metamaterials, because the PC derives its properties from its bandgap characteristics. PCs are sized to match the wavelength of light, versus other metamaterials that expose sub-wavelength structure. Furthermore, PCs function by diffracting light. In contrast, metamaterial does not use diffraction.[41]

PCs have periodic inclusions that inhibit wave propagation due to the inclusions' destructive interference from scattering. The photonic bandgap property of PCs makes them the electromagnetic analog of electronic semi-conductor crystals.[42]

EBGs have the goal of creating high quality, low loss, periodic, dielectric structures. An EBG affects photons in the same way semiconductor materials affect electrons. PCs are the perfect bandgap material, because they allow no light propagation.[43] Each unit of the prescribed periodic structure acts like one atom, albeit of a much larger size.[1][43]

EBGs are designed to prevent the propagation of an allocated bandwidth of frequencies, for certain arrival angles and polarizations. Various geometries and structures have been proposed to fabricate EBG's special properties. In practice it is impossible to build a flawless EBG device.[1][9]

EBGs have been manufactured for frequencies ranging from a few gigahertz (GHz) to a few terahertz (THz), radio, microwave and mid-infrared frequency regions. EBG application developments include a transmission line, woodpiles made of square dielectric bars and several different types of low gain antennas.[1][9]

### Double positive medium

Double positive mediums (DPS) do occur in nature, such as naturally occurring dielectrics. Permittivity and magnetic permeability are both positive and wave propagation is in the forward direction. Artificial materials have been fabricated which combine DPS, ENG and MNG properties.[1][12]

### Bi-isotropic and bianisotropic

Categorizing metamaterials into double or single negative, or double positive, normally assumes that the metamaterial has independent electric and magnetic responses described by ε and μ. However, in many cases, the electric field causes magnetic polarization, while the magnetic field induces electrical polarization, known as magnetoelectric coupling. Such media are denoted as bi-isotropic. Media that exhibit magnetoelectric coupling and that are anisotropic (which is the case for many metamaterial structures[44]), are referred to as bi-anisotropic.[45][46]

Four material parameters are intrinsic to magnetoelectric coupling of bi-isotropic media. They are the electric (E) and magnetic (H) field strengths, and electric (D) and magnetic (B) flux densities. These parameters are ε, μ, κ and χ or permittivity, permeability, strength of chirality, and the Tellegen parameter, respectively. In this type of media, material parameters do not vary with changes along a rotated coordinate system of measurements. In this sense they are invariant or scalar.[9]

The intrinsic magnetoelectric parameters, κ and χ, affect the phase of the wave. The effect of the chirality parameter is to split the refractive index. In isotropic media this results in wave propagation only if ε and μ have the same sign. In bi-isotropic media with χ assumed to be zero, and κ a non-zero value, different results appear. Either a backward wave or a forward wave can occur. Alternatively, two forward waves or two backward waves can occur, depending on the strength of the chirality parameter.

In the general case, the constitutive relations for bi-anisotropic materials read 𝐃=ε𝐄+ξ𝐇, 𝐁=ζ𝐄+μ𝐇, where ε and μ are the permittivity and the permeability tensors, respectively, whereas ξ and ζ are the two magneto-electric tensors. If the medium is reciprocal, permittivity and permeability are symmetric tensors, and ξ=−ζT=−iκT, where κ is the chiral tensor describing chiral electromagnetic and reciprocal magneto-electric response. The chiral tensor can be expressed as κ=13tr⁡(κ)I+N+J, where tr⁡(κ) is the trace of κ, I is the identity matrix, N is a symmetric trace-free tensor, and J is an antisymmetric tensor. Such decomposition allows us to classify the reciprocal bianisotropic response and we can identify the following three main classes: (i) chiral media (tr⁡(κ)≠0,N≠0,J=0), (ii) pseudochiral media (tr⁡(κ)=0,N≠0,J=0), (iii) omega media (tr⁡(κ)=0,N=0,J≠0).

### Chiral

Handedness of metamaterials is a potential source of confusion as the metamaterial literature includes two conflicting uses of the terms left- and right-handed. The first refers to one of the two circularly polarized waves that are the propagating modes in chiral media. The second relates to the triplet of electric field, magnetic field and Poynting vector that arise in negative refractive index media, which in most cases are not chiral.

Generally a chiral and/or bianisotropic electromagnetic response is a consequence of 3D geometrical chirality: 3D-chiral metamaterials are composed by embedding 3D-chiral structures in a host medium and they show chirality-related polarization effects such as optical activity and circular dichroism. The concept of 2D chirality also exists and a planar object is said to be chiral if it cannot be superposed onto its mirror image unless it is lifted from the plane. 2D-chiral metamaterials that are anisotropic and lossy have been observed to exhibit directionally asymmetric transmission (reflection, absorption) of circularly polarized waves due to circular conversion dichroism.[47][48] On the other hand, bianisotropic response can arise from geometrical achiral structures possessing neither 2D nor 3D intrinsic chirality. Plum and colleagues investigated magneto-electric coupling due to extrinsic chirality, where the arrangement of a (achiral) structure together with the radiation wave vector is different from its mirror image, and observed large, tuneable linear optical activity,[49] nonlinear optical activity,[50] specular optical activity[51] and circular conversion dichroism.[52] Rizza et al.[53] suggested 1D chiral metamaterials where the effective chiral tensor is not vanishing if the system is geometrically one-dimensional chiral (the mirror image of the entire structure cannot be superposed onto it by using translations without rotations).

3D-chiral metamaterials are constructed from chiral materials or resonators in which the effective chirality parameter κ is non-zero. Wave propagation properties in such chiral metamaterials demonstrate that negative refraction can be realized in metamaterials with a strong chirality and positive εr and μr.[54] [55] This is because the refractive index n has distinct values for left and right circularly polarized waves, given by

n=±εrμr±κ

It can be seen that a negative index will occur for one polarization if κ > εrμr. In this case, it is not necessary that either or both εr and μr be negative for backward wave propagation.[9] A negative refractive index due to chirality was first observed simultaneously and independently by Plum et al.[31] and Zhang et al.[32] in 2009.

### FSS based

Frequency selective surface-based metamaterials block signals in one waveband and pass those at another waveband. They have become an alternative to fixed frequency metamaterials. They allow for optional changes of frequencies in a single medium, rather than the restrictive limitations of a fixed frequency response.[56]

## Mechanical metamaterials

Mechanical metamaterials are rationally designed artificial materials/structures of precision geometrical arrangements leading to unusual physical and mechanical properties. These unprecedented properties are often derived from their unique internal structures rather than the materials from which they are made. Inspiration for mechanical metamaterials design often comes from biological materials (such as honeycombs and cells), from molecular and crystalline unit cell structures as well as the artistic fields of origami and kirigami. While early mechanical metamaterials had regular repeats of simple unit cell structures, increasingly complex units and architectures are now being explored. Mechanical metamaterials can be seen as a counterpart to the rather well-known family of optical metamaterials and electromagnetic metamaterials. Mechanical metamaterials are the broad umbrella, defined by architected structures at nano, micro, meso, and macro scales that produce properties unattainable in conventional materials. Mechanical properties, including elasticity, viscoelasticity, and thermoelasticity, are fundamental to the design of mechanical metamaterials. Under this umbrella, two main branches can be distinguished. The first involves static or quasi-static responses, such as auxeticity, tunable stiffness, multistability, or programmable deformation. The second involves dynamic wave phenomena in solids, often referred to as elastic or elastodynamic metamaterials, where resonant or periodic architectures control both longitudinal and shear wave propagation through effective properties such as negative mass density or modulus. Acoustic metamaterials fall within this dynamic branch and are designed to control longitudinal pressure waves in fluids, as well as in solids where shear effects are negligible, through tailored effective density and bulk modulus. The mechanical properties of mechanical metamaterials can be designed to have values that cannot be found in nature, such as negative stiffness, negative Poisson's ratio, negative compressibility, and vanishing shear modulus.[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][excessive citations] In addition to classical mechanical metamaterials, there has been growing attention to active mechanical metamaterials with advanced functionalities. These enable "intelligent mechanical metamaterials", which are programmable material systems capable of sensing, energy harvesting, actuation, communication, and information processing—to interact with their surrounding environments, optimize their response, and create a sense–decide–respond loop.[69][70]

Acoustic metamaterials, sometimes referred to as sonic or phononic crystals, are architected materials designed to manipulate sound waves or phonons in gases, liquids, and solids. By tailoring effective parameters such as bulk modulus (β), density (ρ), and in some cases chirality, they can be engineered to transmit, trap, or attenuate waves at selected frequencies, functioning as acoustic resonators when local resonances dominate. Within the broader field of mechanical metamaterials, acoustic metamaterials represent the dynamic branch where wave control is the primary goal.

Acoustic metamaterials control, direct and manipulate sound in the form of sonic, infrasonic or ultrasonic waves in gases, liquids and solids. As with electromagnetic waves, sonic waves can exhibit negative refraction.[71]

Control of sound waves is mostly accomplished through the bulk modulus β, mass density ρ and chirality. The bulk modulus and density are analogs of permittivity and permeability in electromagnetic metamaterials. Related to this is the mechanics of sound wave propagation in a lattice structure. Also materials have mass and intrinsic degrees of stiffness. Together, these form a resonant system and the mechanical (sonic) resonance may be excited by appropriate sonic frequencies (for example audible pulses).

Willis materials exhibit additional nonlocal material parameters for elastic-wave manipulation—analogous to the bianisotropic moduli in electromagnetic media[72][73]—that couple stress with particle velocity and linear momentum with strain, known as Willis couplings. They are named after J. R. Willis, who predicted them using a dynamic homogenization method.[74][75][76] Much of the recent interest in Willis couplings has been driven by their local form (the Milton–Briane–Willis equations[73]). By extending Willis's homogenization method, Pernas-Salomón and Shmuel were the first to show that piezoelectric composites exhibit an effective coupling between linear momentum and the electric field, which they termed electro-momentum coupling.[77] Electro-momentum coupling provides a mechanism for wave manipulation similar to Willis coupling, with the added benefit of electrical tunability.[78]

### Structural

Structural metamaterials are a type of mechanical metamaterial that provide properties such as crushability and lightweight characteristics. Using projection micro-stereolithography, microlattices can be created using forms much like trusses and girders. Materials four orders of magnitude stiffer than conventional aerogel, but with the same density have been created. Such materials can withstand a load of at least 160,000 times their own weight by over-constraining the materials.[79][80]

A ceramic nanotruss metamaterial can be flattened and revert to its original state.[81]

While metamaterials derive their extraordinary properties from engineered micro- or nano-scale architectures that manipulate wave behaviour, metastructures operate at the macro-scale, leveraging geometric design and modular assembly to achieve multifunctional mechanical performance across larger systems. Fully bio-based composite and modular metastructure cells based on trussed geometry encompassing bamboo rods and plant-based polymer joints demonstrate scalable mechanical performance, supporting up to 700 kg in compression with a mass of only 30 g.[82]

### Thermal

Typically, materials found in nature, when homogeneous, are thermally isotropic, meaning heat diffuses at roughly the same rate in all directions. Thermal metamaterials, as a subclass of mechanical metamaterials, achieve anisotropic and tailored thermal responses through architected internal structures. The term arose around 2008, when Fan, Gao, and Huang[83] demonstrated shaped graded materials with apparent negative thermal conductivity, and introduced the concept of a thermal cloak through transformation thermotics. By carefully designing their geometry at nano, micro, meso, or macro scales, these materials exhibit effective thermal conductivities not accessible in natural materials. Their classification as mechanical metamaterials stems from the fact that their unusual thermal behavior arises from engineered structure rather than chemical composition. Examples include composites with highly aligned fibers, particle arrays, or carbon nanotubes, where directional organization enables controlled heat flow.

### Nonlinear

Metamaterials may be fabricated that include some form of nonlinear media, whose properties change with the power of the incident wave. Nonlinear media are essential for nonlinear optics. Most optical materials have a relatively weak response, meaning that their properties change by only a small amount for large changes in the intensity of the electromagnetic field. The local electromagnetic fields of the inclusions in nonlinear metamaterials can be much larger than the average value of the field. Besides, remarkable nonlinear effects have been predicted and observed if the metamaterial effective dielectric permittivity is very small (epsilon-near-zero media).[84][85][86][87] [88][89][90] In addition, exotic properties such as a negative refractive index, create opportunities to tailor the phase matching conditions that must be satisfied in any nonlinear optical structure and can strongly modify the known nonlinear effects and enable new ones.[91][92][93]

### Liquid

Metafluids offer programmable properties such as viscosity, compressibility, and optical. One approach employed 50-500 micron diameter air-filled elastomer spheres suspended in silicon oil. The spheres compress under pressure, and regain their shape when the pressure is relieved. Their properties differ across those two states. Unpressurized, they scatter light, making them opaque. Under pressure, they collapse into half-moon shapes, focusing light, and becoming transparent. The pressure response could allow them to act as a sensor or as a dynamic hydraulic fluid. Like cornstarch, it can act as either a Newtonian or a non-Newtonian fluid. Under pressure, it becomes non-Newtonian – meaning its viscosity changes in response to shear force.[94]

### Hall metamaterials

Main article: Physics:Hall effect

In 2009, Marc Briane and Graeme Milton[95] proved mathematically that one can in principle invert the sign of a 3 materials based composite in 3D made out of only positive or negative sign Hall coefficient materials. Later in 2015 Muamer Kadic et al.[96] showed that a simple perforation of isotropic material can lead to its change of sign of the Hall coefficient. This theoretical claim was finally experimentally demonstrated by Christian Kern et al.[97]

In 2015, it was also demonstrated by Christian Kern et al. that an anisotropic perforation of a single material can lead to a yet more unusual effect namely the parallel Hall effect.[98] This means that the induced electric field inside a conducting media is no longer orthogonal to the current and the magnetic field but is actually parallel to the latest.

### Meta-biomaterials

Meta-biomaterials are a type of mechanical metamaterial purposefully designed to interact with biological systems, integrating principles from both metamaterial science and biological disciplines. Engineered at the nanoscale, these materials adeptly manipulate electromagnetic, acoustic, or thermal properties to facilitate biological processes. Through meticulous adjustment of their structure and composition, meta-biomaterials hold promise in augmenting various biomedical technologies such as medical imaging,[99] drug delivery,[100] and tissue engineering.[101] This underscores the importance of comprehending biological systems through the interdisciplinary lens of materials science.

## Frequency bands

### Terahertz

Main article: Engineering:Terahertz metamaterial

Terahertz metamaterials interact at terahertz frequencies, usually defined as 0.1 to 10 THz. Terahertz radiation lies at the far end of the infrared band, just after the end of the microwave band. This corresponds to millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths between the 3 mm (EHF band) and 0.03 mm (long-wavelength edge of far-infrared light).

### Photonic

Photonic metamaterial interact with optical frequencies (mid-infrared). The sub-wavelength period distinguishes them from photonic band gap structures.[102][103]

### Tunable

Tunable metamaterials allow arbitrary adjustments to frequency changes in the refractive index. A tunable metamaterial expands beyond the bandwidth limitations in left-handed materials by constructing various types of metamaterials.

### Plasmonic

Plasmonic metamaterials exploit surface plasmons, which are produced from the interaction of light with metal-dielectrics. Under specific conditions, the incident light couples with the surface plasmons to create self-sustaining, propagating electromagnetic waves or surface waves[104] known as surface plasmon polaritons. Bulk plasma oscillations make possible the effect of negative mass (density).[105][106]

## Applications

Metamaterials are under consideration for many applications.[107] Metamaterial antennas are commercially available.

In 2007, one researcher stated that for metamaterial applications to be realized, energy loss must be reduced, materials must be extended into three-dimensional isotropic materials and production techniques must be industrialized.[108]

All-dielectric subwavelength metasurface focusing lens operating in the near infrared has been demonstrated by the Shalaev group in collaboration with the Raytheon team.[109] This lens is currently used in Raytheon defense system products.

### Antennas

Metamaterial antennas are a class of antennas that use metamaterials to improve performance.[16][12][110][111] Demonstrations showed that metamaterials could enhance an antenna's radiated power.[16][112] Materials that can attain negative permeability allow for properties such as small antenna size, high directivity and tunable frequency.[16][12]

### Absorber

Main article: Engineering:Metamaterial absorber

A metamaterial absorber manipulates the loss components of metamaterials' permittivity and magnetic permeability, to absorb large amounts of electromagnetic radiation.[113] This is a useful feature for photodetection[114][115] and solar photovoltaic applications.[116] Loss components are also relevant in applications of negative refractive index (photonic metamaterials, antenna systems) or transformation optics (metamaterial cloaking, celestial mechanics), but often are not used in these applications.

### Superlens

Main article: Physics:Superlens

A superlens is a two or three-dimensional device that uses metamaterials, usually with negative refraction properties, to achieve resolution beyond the diffraction limit (ideally, infinite resolution). Such a behavior is enabled by the capability of double-negative materials to yield negative phase velocity. The diffraction limit is inherent in conventional optical devices or lenses.[117][118]

### Cloaking devices

Main article: Physics:Metamaterial cloaking

Metamaterials are a potential basis for a practical cloaking device. The proof of principle was demonstrated on October 19, 2006. No practical cloaks are publicly known to exist.[119][120][121][122][123][124][125]

### Radar cross-section (RCS-)reducing metamaterials

Metamaterials have applications in stealth technology, which reduces RCS in any of various ways (e.g., absorption, diffusion, redirection). Conventionally, the RCS has been reduced either by radar-absorbent material (RAM) or by purpose shaping of the targets such that the scattered energy can be redirected away from the source. While RAMs have narrow frequency band functionality, purpose shaping limits the aerodynamic performance of the target. More recently, metamaterials or metasurfaces have been synthesized that can redirect the scattered energy away from the source using either array theory[126][127][128][129] or generalized Snell's law.[130][131] This has led to aerodynamically favorable shapes for the targets with the reduced RCS.

### Seismic protection

Seismic metamaterials counteract the adverse effects of seismic waves on man-made structures.[8][132][133]

### Sound filtering

Metamaterials textured with nanoscale wrinkles could control sound or light signals, such as changing a material's color or improving ultrasound resolution. Uses include nondestructive material testing, medical diagnostics and sound suppression. The materials can be made through a high-precision, multi-layer deposition process. The thickness of each layer can be controlled within a fraction of a wavelength. The material is then compressed, creating precise wrinkles whose spacing can cause scattering of selected frequencies.[134][135]

### Guided mode manipulations

Metamaterials can be integrated with optical waveguides to tailor guided electromagnetic waves (meta-waveguide).[136] Subwavelength structures like metamaterials can be integrated with for instance silicon waveguides to develop and polarization beam splitters[137] and optical couplers,[138] adding new degrees of freedom of controlling light propagation at nanoscale for integrated photonic devices.[139] Other applications such as integrated mode converters,[140] polarization (de)multiplexers,[141] structured light generation,[142] and on-chip bio-sensors[143] can be developed.[136]

## Theoretical models

All materials are made of atoms, which are dipoles. These dipoles modify light velocity by a factor n (the refractive index). In a split ring resonator the ring and wire units act as atomic dipoles: the wire acts as a ferroelectric atom, while the ring acts as an inductor L, while the open section acts as a capacitor C. The ring as a whole acts as an LC circuit. When the electromagnetic field passes through the ring, an induced current is created. The generated field is perpendicular to the light's magnetic field. The magnetic resonance results in a negative permeability; the refraction index is negative as well. (The lens is not truly flat, since the structure's capacitance imposes a slope for the electric induction.)

Several (mathematical) material models predict frequency response in DNGs. One of these is the Lorentz model, which describes electron motion in terms of a driven-damped, harmonic oscillator. The Debye relaxation model applies when the acceleration component of the Lorentz mathematical model is small compared to the other components of the equation. The Drude model applies when the restoring force component is negligible and the coupling coefficient is generally the plasma frequency. Other component distinctions call for the use of one of these models, depending on its polarity or purpose.[1]

Three-dimensional composites of metal/non-metallic inclusions periodically/randomly embedded in a low permittivity matrix are usually modeled by analytical methods, including mixing formulas and scattering-matrix based methods. The particle is modeled by either an electric dipole parallel to the electric field or a pair of crossed electric and magnetic dipoles parallel to the electric and magnetic fields, respectively, of the applied wave. These dipoles are the leading terms in the multipole series. They are the only existing ones for a homogeneous sphere, whose polarizability can be easily obtained from the Mie scattering coefficients. In general, this procedure is known as the "point-dipole approximation", which is a good approximation for metamaterials consisting of composites of electrically small spheres. Merits of these methods include low calculation cost and mathematical simplicity.[144][145]

Three conceptions- negative-index medium, non-reflecting crystal and superlens are foundations of the metamaterial theory. Other first principles techniques for analyzing triply-periodic electromagnetic media may be found in Computing photonic band structure

## Institutional networks

### MURI

The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) encompasses dozens of Universities and a few government organizations. Participating universities include UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Imperial College in London. The sponsors are Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency.[146]

MURI supports research that intersects more than one traditional science and engineering discipline to accelerate both research and translation to applications. As of 2009, 69 academic institutions were expected to participate in 41 research efforts.[147]

### Metamorphose

The Virtual Institute for Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials "Metamorphose VI AISBL" is an international association to promote artificial electromagnetic materials and metamaterials. It organizes scientific conferences, supports specialized journals, creates and manages research programs, provides training programs (including PhD and training programs for industrial partners); and technology transfer to European Industry.[148][149]
