Metamaterials: An Emerging Field

Metamaterials represent a new emerging innovative field of research which has shown rapid acceleration over the last couple of years. In this handbook, we present the richness of the field of metamaterials in its widest sense, describing artificial media with sub-wavelength structure for control over wave propagation in four volumes.

Volume 1: Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Metamaterials

Volume 1 focuses on the fundamentals of electromagnetic metamaterials in all their richness, including metasurfaces and hyperbolic metamaterials.

Volume 2: Elastic, Acoustic, and Seismic Systems

Volume 2 widens the picture to include elastic, acoustic, and seismic systems.

Volume 3: Nonlinear and Active Photonic Metamaterials

Volume 3 presents nonlinear and active photonic metamaterials.

Volume 4: Nanoplasmonics and Photonic Metamaterials

Finally, Volume 4 includes recent progress in the field of nanoplasmonics, used extensively for the tailoring of the unit cell response of photonic metamaterials.

In its totality, we hope that this handbook will be useful for a wide spectrum of readers, from students to active researchers in industry, as well as teachers of advanced courses on wave propagation.
