Abstract:
Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature. They are constituted of elements small in terms of a wavelength realized by conventional materials such as metals or dielectrics, arranged in periodic patterns to obtain a certain average constitutive electric and magnetic parameters. Metasurfaces constitute a class of thin Metamaterials characterized by average boundary conditions. Objective of the course is to give basic background, mathematical and numerical tools, physical insight, and a view on the engineering application at the state of the art about Metamaterial and Metasurfaces at both microwave and optical regimes.
