Metamaterials'2010

Fourth International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics

Karlsruhe, Germany, September 2010

Conference: 13-16.09.2010   Doctoral School: 17-18.09.2010

This congress series was initiated by the European Network of Excellence Metamorphose and is organized by the Virtual Institute for Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials (Metamorphose VI).

This series of events brings together and continues the traditions of the highly successful series of International Conferences on Complex Media and Metamaterials (Bianisotropics) and Rome International Workshops on Metamaterials and Special Materials for Electromagnetic Applications and Telecommunications. International Conferences on Complex Media and Metamaterials had eleven editions, with the names “Chiral”, “Bi-isotropics”, or “Bianisotropics”, reflecting the developments in the field of artificial electromagnetic materials. The first three editions of the Congress were held in Rome (October 2007), in Pamplona (September 2008), and in London (September 2009).

Topics The Congress will address a wide area of research in artificial electromagnetic materials and surfaces and their applications from RF to optical frequencies. The conference topics encompassing theory, design, applications, fabrication and measurements include but are not limited to:

* Physics of complex electromagnetic materials * Micro- and nano-fabrication of metamaterials * Experimental techniques for characterization of metamaterials * Analytical and numerical modelling of metamaterials * Homogenization of metamaterials and effective medium models * Three-dimensional metamaterials * Planar metamaterial structures, meta-surfaces and meta-sheets * Metamaterials for nanoelectronics and nanoantennas * Carbon nanotubes and graphene in metamaterials * Tunable/reconfigurable/active/non-linear metamaterials * Chiral and bianisotropic composites * Metamaterials with extreme parameters * Plasmonic metamaterials * Extraordinary transmission * EBG structures, photonic crystals, and their applications * RF metamaterials and applications * Millimeter wave/THz metamaterials and applications * Optical metamaterials and applications * Acoustic metamaterials and applications * Antenna and absorber applications of metamaterials * Metamaterial applications in microwave engineering * Medical applications of metamaterials * Superlenses, hyperlenses, other near-field imaging devices * Transformational electromagnetics and optics * Advances in cloaking * Educational aspects of metamaterials
