Nanoscale Design. (a) A periodic array of atoms with the radius and inter-atomic spacing of each atom being much less than the wavelength of radiation. (b) Metamaterials are composed of nano-inclusions called meta atoms with critical dimensions much less than the wavelength of radiation. The artificial meta atoms provide unique electromagnetic responses not seen with natural structures.
