XV - Levi ski resort, Lapland, Finland, November 16-20, 2009
Fundamentals of Metamaterials Electromagnetics
This short course is designed for post-graduate students and young
researchers who are starting or already working in the field of complex
artificial electromagnetic materials (metamaterials). It will give
fundamental knowledge about electromagnetic materials and their
effective parameters. Students will learn, for instance, why arrays of
wires can behave as free-electron plasma with negative effective
permittivity, what determines the permeability of split-ring-resonator
media, how negative refraction happens, and how the perfect lens
operates. This course will also treat fundamental properties of
plasmonic media and optical properties of metals and novel composites
for plasmonic optical devices. The course combines lectures,
problem-solving and self-study sessions, and short presentations by the
students. The course will last five days.
Organizers: Profs. Ari Sihvola and S. Tretyakov, Helsinki University of Technology

General Synthesis of Metamaterials and their Modelling by Homogenization
The 11th Edition of the School will be held jointly with our conference and will offer a special course on Metamaterials and related materials and stuructures. The course will combine lectures by world's top specialists in the fields of Metamaterials and photonics, problem-solving and self-study sessions, and short presentations by the students. The topic of this school is devoted to the general synthesis of metamaterials whose constituent elements may have various shapes and properties. It is the goal of the school to discuss them and to show how the constituent properties and designs affect the overall macroscopic behavior. Furthermore, the macroscopic properties in some cases can be described in terms of homogenized quantities like permittivity and permeability or refractive index and impedance. This topic is still largely debated and we will show the various techniques available in the literature and their limits up to the most recent advances in this debated field. Open discussions and interaction with the lecturers is an important part of this focused school.
