An Invitation to Metamaterials
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
9783031829413 (ISBN)
This book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles and cutting-edge applications of metamaterials. It offers a balanced perspective, combining theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches. Topics covered include rapidly evolving areas such as metasurfaces, quantum metamaterials, and nonlinear metamaterials. The book also extends its scope beyond optics to explore applications in acoustics, thermal science, mechanics, and even seismology.
A dedicated chapter discusses topological insulators, providing detailed insights into this advanced topic. The text is designed for advanced graduate students and early career researchers in the field of metamaterials. Specialists in the field will also benefit from the book's presentation of new developments and innovative approaches.
Two chapters focus on advanced mathematical methods, including fiber bundles, Chern numbers, pseudodifferential operators, and scattering theory. These sections are crafted to be reasonably self-contained, with references provided for readers who wish to explore these topics further.
Didier Felbacq graduated in Physics and Mathematics from the École Centrale de Marseille in 1992 and the University of Aix-Marseille, where he earned an Agrégation in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 1994. He is currently a professor at the University of Montpellier, France, in the Charles Coulomb Laboratory at CNRS.
His research spans theoretical and numerical studies conducted in close collaboration with experimentalists. His current work focuses on excitons in 2D materials, topological effects in wave propagation, quantum and thermal metamaterials, and biophysics, including water transport in root systems and the use of machine learning for biological imaging.
Introduction.- Basics of Maxwell equations.- Wave propagation in metamaterials: theoretical methods.- Wave propagation in metamaterials: numerical aspects.- Zoology of metamaterials: a biased view of applications and realizations.- Meta-surfaces.- Exotic metamaterials.- Other types of metamaterials.- Index.
