Download or read book Physics of Negative Refraction and Negative Index Materials written by Clifford M. Krowne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-14 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the subject of optical and electronic negative refraction (NR) and negative index materials NIM). Diverse approaches for achieving NR and NIM are covered, such as using photonic crystals, phononic crystals, split-ring resonators (SRRs) and continuous media, focusing of waves, guided-wave behavior, and nonlinear effects. It is perhaps the most comprehensive book on the new class of negative refraction materials, covering all aspects of negative refraction and negative index materials.
