Description

In Part 4 of this four-part tutorial, Mark Brongersma starts with an intuitive introduction to the optical properties of metamaterials. He then discusses the possibility of creating two-dimensional (2D) metamaterials from optically resonant nanoscale semiconductor and metallic building blocks. The resulting metafilms and metasurfaces are ideal building blocks for optoelectronic devices that are commonly constructed from layered metal and semiconductor films.

This is Part Four of a four-part tutorial.
