Essential Concepts In Metamaterials

Metamaterials have transformed the study and control of waves, enabling effects such as negative refraction, cloaking, tailored dispersion, and programmable wavefront shaping. The field has expanded quickly from its electromagnetic origins into acoustics, elasticity, and time-varying platforms, creating a need for an introductory text that links core physical ideas with modern developments in a clear and gradual way. This book is written for advanced undergraduates and first-year postgradua...
