Abstract
Metamaterial research includes trying to realize extreme refractive index properties (e.g. very large, zero or negative values). Bulk material properties are defined by the number density of subwavelength sized meta-atoms which necessarily are electromagnetically coupled together. We investigate the parallels to be drawn with condensed-matter physical models, in particular the RPA.
