Effective properties of metamaterials (ANR POEM 2007-2010)
publié le , mis à jour le
This activity involves five laboratories (L2C, LASMEA, ANAM, Institut Fresnel, Institut FEMTO-ST). It is coordinated by D. Felbacq (L2C). The aim is to develop numerical and theoretical tools allowing the computation and the understanding of the effective properties of metamaterials. There is a particular interest in the onset of artificial magnetism in dielectric structures because it opens a way towards metamaterials working in the visible. By using an original approach relying on the mathematical theory of homogenization, an explicit formula for the effective permeability was derived. A completely new effect of spatial dispersion was predicted in arrays of metallic wires.
