A [pi]-shaped metallic metamaterial (geometrically, a combination medium of
C-shaped resonators and continuous wires) is proposed to numerically
investigate its transmission band near the resonant frequency, where otherwise
it should be a negative-permeability (or negative-permittivity) stop band if
either the C-shaped or continuous-wire constituent is separately considered.
However, in contrast to the left-handed materials (LHMs)composed of split-ring
resonators and wires as well as other metallic LHMs, this resonant transmission
is a non-left-handed one as a result of the intrinsic bianisotropic effect
attributed to the electrically asymmetric configuration of this [pi]-shaped
metamaterial.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figure
