Research and Markets: Metamaterials: Critique and Alternatives

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d43c79/metamaterials_cri) has
announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Metamaterials:
Critique and Alternatives" to their offering.

Metamaterials are a new class of ordered composites that exhibit exceptional
properties not readily observed in nature. In Metamaterials, Professor Munk, a
leading expert on periodic structures, denies the existence of negative
refraction and provides convincing alternative explanations involving surface
waves to some of the experimental examples of metamaterials in the literature.
While the debate on this subject is just starting, Professor Munk's arguments
should be the catalyst to much healthy discussion amongst researchers and
graduate students in electromagnetics, antenna theory, materials research, and
chemistry.

Key Topics Covered:

* Foreword.
* Preface.
* Chapter 1: Why Periodic Structures Cannot Synthesize Negative Indices of
Refraction.
* Chapter 2: On Cloaks and Reactive Radomes.
* Chapter 3: Absorbers with Windows: Absorb at Some Frequencies While
Transparent at Others. also Rasorbers.
* Chapter 4: On Designing Absorbers for Oblique Angle of Incidence.
* Chapter 5. The Titan Antenna: An Alternative to Magnetic Ground Planes.
* Chapter 6: Summary and Concluding Remarks.
* References.
* Appendix
* References.
* Index.
