Chapter 1 Concept and property of metamaterial
-
Mohammad Rashed Iqbal Faruque
Abstract
Metamaterials, a composite material with distinct properties, have prompted scholars to investigate innovative uses in a variety of research fields. In practice, a metamaterial is a man-made composite material that interacts differently with light and sound waves than naturally available materials. For instance, light propagation in free space and waveguides may be manipulated in a metamaterial. This makes electromagnetic wavefront manipulation extremely fascinating for a range of applications including signal multiplexing, holography, data processing, and sensing. In fact, by applying external electric and magnetic signals, the development of a metamaterial can enable light control, hence boosting signal absorption and harvesting efficiency. Consequently, this chapter offers a thorough introduction to metamaterials and their characteristics including doublepositive, double-negative, and left-handed metamaterials. This chapter also looks at the most prevalent structural designs for metamaterials. Finally, the most recent use of conventional metamaterials for microwave and terahertz frequencies was explored.
