Abstract

We provide a platform to examine the effect of inclusion geometry on three-dimensional metamaterial crystals to tune frequency-dependent effective properties for control of leading order dispersive behaviour. The crystal is non-magnetic and made from all dielectric components. The design provides novel dispersive properties using subwavelength resonances controlled by the geometry of the media. We numerically calculate the effective tensors of the metamaterial to identify frequency intervals where the metamaterial exhibits band gaps as well as intervals of normal dispersion and double negative dispersion. The frequency intervals can be explicitly controlled by adjusting the geometry and placement of the dielectric inclusions within the period cell of the crystal.
