Preface

Electromagnetic metamaterials are artificially structured composite materials that exhibit a frequency band where the effective index of refraction becomes negative. Since the successful construction of such metamaterials in 2000, the study of metamaterials has attracted great attention of researchers across many disciplines. There is currently an enormous effort in the electrical engineering, material science, physics, and optics communities to come up with various ways of constructing efficient metamaterials and using them for potentially revolutionary ap
