The Design of Chiral Metamaterials and Metasurfaces

The Design of Chiral Metamaterials and Metasurfaces covers the theoretical and experimental study of the properties of chiral metamaterials (composite media that can be engineered to exhibit unique electromagnetic properties), metasurfaces, and helix-structured systems. This book also focuses on the practical applications of the physical properties and the phenomena that are characteristic of chiral metamaterials, including electromagnetic signal polarization conversion, selection, and electromagnetic wave absorption. Given that chiral materials and metasurfaces offer solutions for manipulating electromagnetic waves by incorporating an additional degree of freedom, namely the ability to control the polarization of the wave, this book provides a welcome update for researchers and engineers working in the fields of optics, radio physics, biophysics, and condensed-matter physics.

• Covers recent research work on the design of new metamaterials and metasurfaces
