Abstract

As we stated earlier, we will introduce a number of theoretical models for different material types. The reasons for these differing treatments are both that they are physically intuitive and that they are practically useful when describing metamaterial properties. We will also intentionally ignore deeper derivations here, such as quantum polarization models, as they do not apply broadly, but do provide an avenue for exploration for smaller nanoparticles and are required for several interesting properties found later.
