Abstract :
We present unique phenomena of enhanced transmission of terahertz (THz) waves through a self-organized eutectic metamaterial1. Our experimental results in combination with theoretical calculations show that the experimentally observed enhanced transmission is associated with sub-wavelength waveguiding within the dielectric rods lattice embedded in an epsilon-near zero polaritonic host.
