摘要
We discuss optical constants in artificial metamaterials showing negative magnetic permeability and electric permittivity and suggest a simple formula for the refractive index of a general optical medium. Using the effective-field theory, we calculate the effective permeability and the refractive index of nanofabricated media composed of pairs of identical gold nanopillars with magnetic response in the visible spectrum.
