Surface waves in a magnetized ferrite slab filled with a wire medium

International audienceNovel metamaterial based on wire medium embedded into magnetized ferrite, is studied. Waves in unbounded ferrites filled with wire media, surface wave at the interface of this metamaterial and the air as well waves in a ferrite slab adjacent to a wire medium are considered. Different geometries of wires arrangement and different magnetization directions are discussed. Effective permeability was introduced for the case where both plasma and magnetic properties take place. Dispertion diagrams and applicability of yhe Drude model for the description of the wire medium in a host matrix, possessing hith permittivity and permeability, are discussed
