Abstract

In the current stage, left-handed material (LHM) has aroused wide interest based on several basic prototypes such as metamaterials. In this work, we have theoretically investigated the possible existence of granular LHM by using the Bruggeman formalism. The Wiener bounds and the Hashin–Shtrikman bounds were invoked and some examples were represented. We had found that when the dissipations are increased adequately, the estimates of the Bruggeman formalism will lie within the two bounds rigorously, even if the two permittivities have real parts of opposite signs. Thus, one particulate LHM may be achieved by choosing the two component mediums with negative permittivity and negative permeability, respectively.
