This book provides an introduction to the world of metamaterials and metasurfaces; artificially engineered materials that can control electromagnetic waves in ways not found in nature. These materials exhibit unusual effects with applications ranging from miniaturised antennas to advanced sensors, energy harvesting, and even future communication systems.
Spanning microwave, terahertz, and optical frequency regimes, the book traces the evolution of the field from fundamental concepts to recent breakthroughs. It presents fundamental theory, modelling and characterisation techniques, while highlighting both emerging applications, such as superlensing, cloaking, and sub-wavelength imaging and established uses in absorbers, sensors, antennas, and active devices.
This second edition features major updates and new content including advances in reversed Čerenkov radiation-based vacuum tube research, hyperbolic metamaterials, graphene-enabled devices, biomedical applications, acoustic metamaterials and fabrication technologies for metasurfaces. Emerging directions such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and ultra-massive MIMO for 6G communications are also explored.
Metamaterials and Metasurfaces, 2nd Edition: Foundations, trends and applications serves as both a postgraduate teaching resource and a reference for researchers seeking a solid foundation in the principles, applications and emerging trends shaping this dynamic field.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
