Transparent metamaterials with a negative refractive index determined by spatial dispersion
Abstract
The paper considers an opportunity for the creation of an artificial two-component metamaterial with a negative refractive index within the radio and optical frequency band, which possesses a spatial dispersion. It is shown that there exists a spectral region where, under certain ratio of volume fraction unit occupied with components, the metamaterial appears transparent without attenuating the electromagnetic wave passing through it and possessing a phase and group velocity of the opposite sign.
