Abstract

We demonstrate that metamaterials formed by split ring resonators may exhibit strong spatial dispersion when the effective permeability is near zero. It is shown that the nonlocal effects can be characterized using a generalized Clausius-Mossotti formula. The proposed theory is verified using full wave simulations.
