TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated wave transmission through an epsilon-near-zero metamaterial waveguide embedded with defects, and they showed that by adjusting the geometric sizes and material properties of the defects, total reflection and even transmission can be obtained, despite the impedance mismatch of EPSilon near-zero material with free space.Abstract:
In this work, we investigate wave transmission through an epsilon-near-zero metamaterial waveguide embedded with defects. We show that by adjusting the geometric sizes and material properties of the defects, total reflection and even transmission can be obtained, despite the impedance mismatch of epsilon-near-zero material with free space. Our work can greatly simplify the design of zero-index material waveguide applications by removing the dependence on permeability.read more

TL;DR: The notion of 'static optics', in which the electricity and magnetism are decoupled, while the fields are temporally dynamic, is explored, which occurs when both the relative effective permittivity and permeability attain near-zero values at a given operating frequency.

Realizing bending waveguides with anisotropic epsilon-near-zero metamaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied metamaterials with an anisotropic effective permittivity tensor in which one component is near zero, and they found that such a material can be used to control wave propagation and construct almost perfect bending waveguides with high transmission rate.
