Abstract
Metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion (where two eigenvalues of the dielectric permittivity tensor have opposite signs) exhibit a broad bandwidth singularity in the photonic density of states, with resulting manifestations in a variety of phenomena, from spontaneous emission to light propagation and scattering. In this tutorial, I will review some of the recent developments in this field.

Terahertz Cherenkov radiation based on hyperbolic metamaterials

TL;DR: In this article , a method to construct the HMM by the waveguide metamaterial is proposed, where the effective permittivity is tuned by the structural parameters, and the designed HMM shows a topological transition process in a wide frequency region and the Cherenkov radiation in different types of HMM is verified.

Using Planar Hyperbolic Metamaterials to Enhance Spontaneous Emission in Two-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

TL;DR: One-dimensional planar hyperbolic metamaterials (P-HMMs) were designed in this paper, which supported high k modes and had better coupling compared to multilayers HMMs.

Breakdown of effective-medium theory beyond the critical angle

Tunable THz generation and enhanced nonlinear effects with active and passive graphene hyperbolic metamaterials

TL;DR: In this article, a new patterned graphene hyperbolic metamaterial (GHMM) was proposed to enhance the third harmonic generation (THG) due to the field enhancement at the resonance as well as the supported slow-light response that fosters strong light-matter interaction.

On the Surface States Associated with a Periodic Potential

TL;DR: In this article, the wave functions and energy levels associated with a finite one-dimensional periodic potential field are investigated and the surface levels appear only at lattice constants so small that the boundary curves for the allowed energy bands have crossed.
