1. A metamaterial array, comprising:
- a matrix; and
a first set of particles embedded in the matrix, each particle in the first set being substantially identically shaped and having a substantially identical dielectric constant, the particles in the first set having a dielectric constant that is higher than the dielectric constant of the matrix, and the dielectric constant of the particles in the first set is less than about 120.

Abstract
RF-optical metamaterials with (±∈, ±μ) figures-of-merit of interest are constructed from coupled magnetic and dielectric multi-resonant multi-disks (finite-size cylinders) or multi-sphere lattices arranged in a periodic or a random fashion to offer tailored magnetic and electric dipole moments. The present metamaterials include embedded particles arrays that provide coupled magnetic and electronic modes equivalent to L (inductor) and C (capacitor) circuit models. Novel arrangements of these dipole modes (L and C) tailor the transfer function to the physics of interest.
