The aim of the ETOPIM13 meeting is to discuss experimental and theoretical developments in the field of inhomogeneous materials and metamaterials, covering topics such as:

Novel phenomena and properties enabled by inhomogeneity and aperiodicity

Electronic, electromagnetic, elastic and optical properties of materials and metamaterials

Wave steering in metamaterials and inhomogeneous media

Topological wave channels and resonances

New classes of topological materials and their unique properties under inhomogeneities

Materials and metamaterials based on fractal and hyperbolic geometries

Dynamical effects in soft matter and self-assemblies

New dynamical effects enabled by non-linear regimes

Novel space-time microstructures

Architected metamaterials for sensing and information processing

Effective properties of composites and homogenization theory

Transport, localization-delocalization in random media

Novel types of linear and non-linear response phenomena

Non-reciprocity

Plasmonics

Magneto-transport

Subwavelength resolution in electromagnetic and acoustic imaging

Magneto-optics

Cloaking and limitations to cloaking
