Metamaterials applications in radiocommunication and biomedical engineering

Published: 26 October 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Metamaterials are complex materials with artificial structure which have special features. These features attract many scientists to use metamaterial structure in many research areas [1]. The metamaterials can enhance properties of microwave and optical passive and active components and also to exceed some limitation of devices used in technical practice [1]. Examples of scientific and technical fields which are concerned are electrical engineering, micro- and nanotechnology, microwave engineering, optics, optoelectronics, and semiconductor technologies, biomedical engineering [1]. In plasmonics, the interplay between propagating electromagnetic waves and free-electron oscillations in materials are exploited to create new components and applications [1]. On the other hand, metamaterials refer to artificial composites in which small artificial elements, through their collective interaction, create a desired and unexpected macroscopic response function that is not present in the constituent materials [1].
