Background:

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a quantum interference effect.
Metamaterials offer unique electromagnetic properties not found in natural materials.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and investigate a planar metamaterial exhibiting EIT in the microwave frequency band.
To explore the potential of this metamaterial for slow light applications.

Main Methods:

A planar metamaterial design coupling a split-ring resonator with a cut-wire.
