Abstract
For the conventional definition of LHM, “\(\epsilon < 0,\ \mu < 0\)”, one needs two independent susceptibilities. If we describe the same physical situation in terms of a single susceptibility, we obviously need a different definition. The common language for this purpose is, not the susceptibility, but dispersion curve , as explained below. We give a conventional description of LHM in the first half of this subsection, and in the latter half, we rephrase the same (but inequivalent) physics by the new single susceptibility scheme.
