✦ Synopsis


0.17, that is, neither constituent phase supports NPV propagation. In contrast, HCM is negative-valued for 0.28 Ͻ f a Ͻ 0.92. Thus, we see that the HCM supports NPV propagation across a wide range of volume fractions.

3. CONCLUDING REMARKS

In answer to the question in posed section 1: an HCM which supports NPV propagation, arising from constituent material phases which do not support NPV propagation, may be conceptualized through homogenizing components with Re{ a,b } Ͻ 0. In view of Eq. ( 1), it may be inferred that the prospects for NPV propagation are increased through considering constituent phases with relatively small Im{ a,b } and relatively large Im{ a,b }.

Since the relative permittivities and relative permeabilities are decoupled within the Bruggeman formalism, our demonstration using Case I also holds for Case II. However, we note that, in practice, suitable materials with Re{ a,b } Ͻ 0 may be more readily available than those with Re{ a,b } Ͻ 0.
