Metamaterial physics : bandgaps, cloaking and super-resolution
Man-made composite materials have generated a wealth of studies in the community of wave physics over the past 20 years, as they can have properties that cannot be found in natural materials. It is now well accepted that the properties of these propagation media stem from two distinct origins : the ordered or disordered spatial distributions of their constituents, and the resonant or non-resonant nature of their unit cells. When waves propagate in a composite media that has a structural (…)
