"Emerging metamaterials"
The Observatory regularly organizes thematic seminars to draw state-of-the-art on emerging fields in micro and nanotechnologies. Gathering internationally renowned experts these events are the place to set out a developing field at the crossroads of several scientific and technical fields. These seminars are aimed for those who need to obtain in one day a clear view of complex and emerging fields.
Metamaterials are a class of functional composite materials which properties do not preexist in the members, but come from their interaction. They should receive a particular attention since they possess a high potential for integrating completely new functions in usual objects or structures (textiles, buildings, coatings, (opto)electronic components,…). These materials are often structured at the nanometric scale which requires bottom-up fabrication techniques. Metamaterials as an emerging field at present target specific topics, such as negative refraction materials, magnetic and electronic or plasmonic and electronic properties coupling. But their potential goes far beyond these specific cases.
Presentations will cover the main realizations of metamaterials and the efficient techniques to fabricate them. Perspectives towards the development of these new functional materials will be reviewed including the applications to large surface and heterogeneous integration.
