"In summary, Electromagnetic Fields in Unconventional Materials and Structures is an advanced book, written by experts, that is bound to be useful to serious researchers" (Int. Jnl. of Electronics and Communications, Vol.55, No.5, 2001)<br /> "Congratulations! The book is a pearl. It is like a treasury." (Optik - Int. Jnl. for Light & Electron Optics, Vol.112, No.19, 2001)

This book will shape the course of electromagnetics research for decades to come. Fourteen leading researchers from five countries reveal their latest research results in detail and review parallel developments. The topics discussed, though unconventional today, are destined to attract great attention as shrinking device sizes make electromagnetic effects ever more important.

These topics include the rotation of polarization of electric waves by a twisted structure; homogenization of linear bianistotropic composite materials; novel free-space techniques to characterize complex mediums; sculptured thin films; electrodynamic properties of carbon nanotubes; and more.

Electromagnetic Fields in Unconventional Materials and Structures:
* Focuses on geometry in both large and small scales
* Provides a blueprint for electromagnetics research at the turn of the century
* Features new results, comments, and prognostications on 21st century research
* Includes more than 150 illustrations as well as hundreds of charts, tables, and references

Electromagnetic effects in unconventional structures and materials in electronics are becoming more important as device sizes shrink. This trend will continue, and as the use of these materials becomes more cost effective, there will be an increased need for a theoretical understanding of this subject.
