Abstract

AbstractIt is commonly assumed that the long-wavelength limit of a metamaterial can always be described in terms of effective permeability and permittivity tensors. Here we report that this assumption is not necessary–there exists a new class of metamaterial consisting of several interlocking disconnected metal networks, for which the effective long-wavelength theory is local, but the effective field is non-Maxwellian, and possesses much more internal degrees of freedom than effective Maxwellian fields in a local homogeneous medium.
