Waves In Gradient Metamaterials

This book opens a new avenue to an engendering field of applied physics, located at the "crossing" of modern nanophotonics, electromagnetics, acoustics and material science. It highlights the fundamental concept of artificial heterogeneity-induced dispersion of gradient dielectric metamaterials, providing the amplitude-phase reflectance/transmittance spectra for any transparent metamaterial in any needed spectral range. Reflectionless tunneling of visible and IR waves through the gradient n...
