Metamaterials and Negative Refractive Index

D. R. Smith, J. B. Pendry, M. C. K. Wiltshire

Recently, artificially constructed metamaterials have become of considerable interest, as these materials can exhibit electromagnetic characteristics unlike any conventional materi…

Controlling Electromagnetic Fields

J. B. Pendry, D. Schurig, D. R. Smith

Using the freedom of design which metamaterials provide, we show how electromagnetic fields can be redirected at will and propose a design strategy. The conserved fields: electric…

Mimicking Surface Plasmons with Structured Surfaces

JB Pendry, L Martin-Moreno, FJ Garcia-Vidal

Metals such as silver support surface plasmons: electromagnetic surface excitations localised near the surface which originate from the free electrons of the metal. Surface modes a…

Magnetism from Conductors, and Enhanced Non-Linear Phenomena

JB Pendry, AJ Holden, DJ Robbins +1

We show that microstructures built from non-magnetic conducting sheets exhibit an effective magnetic permeability, /mu_meff, which can be tuned to values not accessible in naturall…

Roadmap on Nonlocality in Photonic Materials and Metamaterials

Francesco Monticone, N. Asger Mortensen, Antonio I. Fernández-Domínguez +63

Photonic technologies continue to drive the quest for new optical materials with unprecedented responses. A major frontier in this field is the exploration of nonlocal (spatially d…

Travelling wave amplification in stationary gratings

S. A. R. Horsley, J. B. Pendry

We show that a grating amplitude stationary in space but oscillating in time can be accurately modelled as a set of independent gratings travelling in opposite directions, interact…
