  • Abstract
    A new metallo-dielectric metamaterial is described in this paper that is comprised of a lattice of so-called dumbbell particles. Low loss with potentially large index of refraction is possible with these artificial electromagnetic materials using multiple enhancement effects including thin layers of high dielectric constant, low loss composite films printed between layers of dumbbell particles. Spray deposition of these composite dielectric layers is described.
