It also highlights the concept of "non-locality", which proves to be not a special feature of quantum phenomena, but is shown to have an important counterpart in classical physics and its engineering applications too. Furthermore, it visualizes the physical results by means of simple analytical presentations, reduced sometimes to the elementary functions. 606 $aMetamaterials 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aNanophotonics 606 $aDielectrics 615 0$aMetamaterials. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aNanophotonics. 615 0$aDielectrics. 676 $a620.1/1 700 $aShvart?sburg$b A.
