Transformation electromagnetics is a systematic design technique for optical and electromagnetic devices that enables novel wave-material interaction properties. The associated metamaterials technology for designing and realizing optical and electromagnetic devices can control the behavior of light and electromagnetic waves in ways that have not been conventionally possible. The technique is credited with numerous novel device designs, most notably the invisibility cloaks, perfect lenses and a host of other remarkable devices.
Transformation Electromagnetics and Metamaterials: Fundamental Principles and Applications presents a comprehensive treatment of the rapidly growing area of transformation electromagnetics and related metamaterial technology with contributions on the subject provided by a collection of leading experts from around the world. On the theoretical side, the following questions will be addressed: “Where does transformation electromagnetics come from?,” “What are the general material properties for different classes of coordinate transformations?,” “What are the limitations and challenges of device realizations?,” and “What theoretical tools are available to make the coordinate transformation-based designs more amenable to fabrication using currently available techniques?” The comprehensive theoretical treatment will be complemented by device designs and/or realizations in various frequency regimes and applications including acoustic, radio frequency, terahertz, infrared, and the visible spectrum. The applications encompass invisibility cloaks, gradient-index lenses in the microwave and optical regimes, negative-index superlenses for sub-wavelength resolution focusing, flat lenses that produce highly collimated beams from an embedded antenna or optical source, beam concentrators, polarization rotators andsplitters, perfect electromagnetic absorbers, and many others.
This book will serve as the authoritative reference for students and researchers alike to the fast-evolving and exciting research area of transformation electromagnetics/optics, its application to the design of revolutionary new devices, and their associated metamaterial realizations.
Douglas H. Werner received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and the M.A. degree in mathematics from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), University Park, in 1983, 1985, 1989, and 1986, respectively. He holds the John L. and Genevieve H. McCain Chair Professorship in The Pennsylvania State University Department of Electrical Engineering. He is the director of the Penn State Computational Electromagnetics and Antennas Research Laboratory as well as a member of the Communications and Space Sciences Lab (CSSL). He is also a faculty member of the Materials Research Institute (MRI) at Penn State. Prof. Werner has extensive experience in computational electromagnetics with an emphasis on the modeling/design of antennas (including conformal antennas and nanoantennas) and phased arrays (including ultra-wideband arrays) as well as frequency selective surfaces, metamaterials, and transformation electromagnetics/optics devices for a variety of RF, THz, IR and visible wavelength applications. He is a recognized authority on nature-inspired global optimization techniques (e.g. genetic algorithms, particle swarm, clonal selection, etc.) and their application to solving complex electromagnetic design problems.
Do-Hoon Kwon received the B.S. degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea in 1994, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH in 1995 and 2000, respectively, all in electrical engineering. He was a senior engineer at the Central R&D Center and Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology of Samsung Electronics, Co. in Korea from 2000 to 2006. During 2006–2008, he was a post-doctoral researcher with the Material Research Science and Engineering Center and the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Pennsylvania State University. In August 2008, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of MassachusettsAmherst, as an associate professor. He is affiliated with the Antennas and Propagation Laboratory and the Center for Advanced Sensor and Communication Antennas of the ECE department. His main research interests include antenna scattering theory, small/wideband antennas as well as phased array elements, frequency selective surfaces, metamaterials, cloaking, and device designs based on transformation electromagnetics/optics. He is a senior member of the IEEE.

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 may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
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 Majestic 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. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
