Abstract
The concept of metamaterials originates from the proposal of left-handed materials with negative refractive index, which was followed by varieties of metamaterials with unusual properties that cannot be found in natural materials, such as zero/negative Poisson's ratio, and electromagnetic/acoustic/thermal cloaking effect. According to their application fields, metamaterials are roughly classified into four categories: mechanical metamaterials, acoustic metamaterials, thermal metamaterials, and biological and microlattice metamaterials. By designing structures and arranging ...
