Metamaterials and Wave Control (PDF)

Since the concept was first proposed at the end of the 20th
Century, metamaterials have been the subject of much research and
discussion throughout the wave community. More than 10 years later,
the number of related published articles is increasing
significantly. On

the one hand, this success can be attributed to dreams of new
physical objects which are the consequences of the singular
properties of metamaterials. Among them, we can consider the
examples of perfect lensing and invisibility cloaking. On other
hand,

metamaterials also provide new tools for the design of well-known
wave functions such as antennas for electromagnetic waves.

The goal of this book is to propose an overview of the concept of
metamaterials as a perspective on a new practical tool for wave
study

and engineering. This includes both the electromagnetic spectrum,
from

microwave to optics, and the field of acoustic waves.
