MTT-15: Microwave Field Theory  

Metamaterials (MMs) are electromagnetically homogeneous structures exhibiting exciting properties not readily available in nature. They include the so-called left-handed (LH) materials, also referred to as negative refractive index (NRI) materials, which are characterized by anti-parallel phase and group velocities or, equivalently, simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. Over the past five years, the fundamental properties of MMs have been demonstrated theoretically, numerically and experimentally by various groups around the world, and the first applications have already started to emerge. This workshop displays a panel comprehending the most prominent pioneers of MMs, who will cover all the aspects of the field: fundamental physics and electromagnetic theory, transmission line theory and microwave applications, and micro-nanofabrication technologies. In addition, future prospects for MMs will be discussed..
