FORWARDS
Now we launch A3 Metamaterials Forum to stimulate interaction among
researchers in the field of metamaterials in Asian three countries,
China, Korea and Japan. Metamaterials are artificial materials where
subwavelength structures are designed so that they exhibit exotic
novel response which is quite different from its constituent materials.
Exotic responses include negative refractive index, invisible mantle,
imaging with super resolution to name a few. Now the field is expanding
to design various artificial materials with enhanced functionality
such as perfect absorber and large optical nonlinearity. This Forum is
born this year to expand Japan-Korea Metamaterials Forum established
since 2011. The prehistory can be seen at
http://www.qmmrc.net/webhard/korea-japan-forum/2015/main.htm.
According to the tradition of the forum, it consists of invited talks
and a poster session in a single session in order to keep intimate
environment for discussion.
As a venue of the first A3 Metamaterials Forum, we chose
Sendai, the city known as a city of trees, as well as the birth place
of
Yagi-Uda antenna, which is a good example of artificial structure for
functionality.
We hope that this forum serves as a cradle for active international
research collaboration among the three countries.

invited speakers are fixed. In order to welcome those who got
interested in the titles, we have decided to postpone the deadline for
early bird discount further: The final deadline is Monday, June 20.
- Responding to many requests for postponing the deadline for the early bird discount and travel expense support for students,
we have dicided to reset it on June 6, which is the date of deadline for abstract submission
- We updated the list of invited speakers. Now some of the talk titles can be seen.
