This book is dedicated to true science. The constant support of the ElectroScience Laboratory and my family—in particular my wife, Aase—is deeply appreciated.
A NOTE ON METAMATERIALS Metamaterials are artificially made materials that do not exist in nature. The term derives from the Greek word meta, meaning beyond. More specifically, metamaterials are composites that have a desired combina- tion of properties that cannot be obtained by combining the properties of their constituents. The term was coined in 1999 by a colleague and good friend, Rodger Walser, of the University of Texas–Austin, now at Meta- material, Inc. At my request he graciously provided me with the following definition: Metamaterials are macroscopic composites having man-made, three-dimensional, periodic cellular architecture designed to produce an optimized combination, not available in nature, of two or more responses to specific excitation. I want everybody to understand that I wholeheartedly support a devel- opment of metamaterials in general. Only when unrealistic features, in particular a negative index of refraction, are pursued, must I strongly object. Academia, industry, and most urgently, students deserve an honest and frank discussion on this subject. This book has as its focus such a contribution. B.A.M.
