OS7140 Metamaterial Physics
Last Revised: 2024-10-17
Course Objectives
Students enrolled in the course can learn the necessary knowledge about meta- materials. When they complete the course, they are ready to start working on metamaterial related research.
Prerequisite
Textbook I will filter out the necessary materials from published research papers and review articles, and use my own notes and slides as textbook/References
Topical Outline 1. Vibrations and resonance
2. Dispersion relation of phonons
3. Maxwell equations and electromagnetic waves
4. Polariton, plasmon, and surface
plasmon
5. Anisotropic medium and hyperbolic
metamaterials
6. Refractive index: positive and negative
7. Perfect lens and subwavelength
imaging
8. Energy density in metamaterials
9. Cloaking: physics and engineering
10. Acoustic metamaterials
11. Metasurfaces
12. Quantum metamaterials
13. Photonic and sonic crystals
14. Topological metamaterials
15. Space-time metamaterials
