Metamaterials

This book is comprised of chapters on the topics pivoted to metamaterials, i.e., the artificially engineered mediums/structures, of micro- and nano-scale sizes. These will include novel applications of metamaterials in sensors, solar-cell designs, diffractive lenses, perfect absorbers, phase-shifters, THz imaging, antennas, etc.

Pankaj Kumar Choudhury is a Professor at the Institute of Microengineering and Nanoelectronics (IMEN), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (The National University of Malaysia), Malaysia.
