About this Research Topic
Metamaterials composed of artificial subwavelength resonators have been extensively used to manipulate electromagnetic waves in various fields. Due to the adjustable effective permittivity and effective permeability of metamaterials, the interest in metamaterials has considerably increasing in both scientific and engineering communities. Metasurfaces are the two-dimensional equivalents of metamaterials, formed by periodic or non-periodic arrangement of subwavelength elements in an ultrathin film, which possess flexible capability to control the amplitude, phase, and polarization state of electromagnetic waves. With the help of metamaterials and metasurfaces, versatile applications such as polarization conversion, invisibility cloaking, highresolution imaging, sensing, and beam focusing can be achieved.
This Research Topic focuses on the investigation off recent advances and applications of metamaterials and metasurfaces. The main challenge is to gain a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of these technologies, including design theory, fabrication methods, and effective modulation of their performance. These advances are critical for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves, the design of electromagnetic devices, and the development of other functional applications. In addition, the practical applications of metamaterials and metasurfaces presents challenges such as high fabrication costs, material stability issues, and the need for integrated performance optimization. By addressing these issues and building on recent advances, the Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of metamaterials and metasurfaces. We hope that this special issue will attract the interest of researchers in related fields. We believe that the submission of original research papers will contribute to the rapid development of this field.
